Several humanistic psychologists, most notably Maslow, Carl Rogers, and Erich Fromm, developed theories and practices pertaining to human happiness and flourishing. More recently, positive psychologists have found empirical support for the humanistic theories of flourishing. In addition, positive psychology has moved a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
In 1984, psychologist Ed Diener published his tripartite model of subjective well-being, which posited "three distinct but often related components of wellbeing: frequent positive affect, infrequent negative affect, and cognitive evaluations such as life satisfaction." In this model, cognitive, affective and contextual... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
"Carol Ryff's Six-factor Model of Psychological Well-being was published in 1989, and additional testing of its factors was published in 1995. It postulates that self-acceptance, personal growth, purpose in life, environmental mastery, autonomy, and positive relations with others are key to well-being.According to Core... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Before the use of the term "positive psychology" there were researchers who focused on topics that would now be included under the umbrella of positive psychology. Some view positive psychology as a meeting of Eastern thought, such as Buddhism, and Western psychodynamic approaches. The historical roots of positive psyc... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
There is no accepted "gold standard" theory in positive psychology. However, the work of Seligman is regularly quoted. So too the work of Csikszentmihalyi and older models of well-being, such as Carol Ryff's six-factor model of psychological well-being and Diener's tripartite model of subjective well-being. Later, Paul... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
In Authentic Happiness (2002) Seligman proposed three kinds of a happy life that can be investigated: Pleasant life: research into the Pleasant Life, or the "life of enjoyment," examines how people optimally experience, forecast, and savor the positive feelings and emotions that are part of normal and healthy living (e... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
In Flourish (2011), Seligman argued that the last category of his proposed three kinds of a happy life, "meaningful life," can be considered as three different categories. The resulting summary for this theory is the mnemonic acronym PERMA: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and purpose, and Accompli... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Engagement refers to involvement in activities that draw and build upon one's interests. Csikszentmihalyi explains true engagement as flow, a state of deep effortless involvement, a feeling of intensity that leads to a sense of ecstasy and clarity. The task being done must call upon a particular skill and it should be ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Engagement involves passion for and concentration on the task at hand - complete absorption and loss of self-consciousness. Relationships are essential in fueling positive emotions, whether they are work-related, familial, romantic, or platonic. As Peterson puts it, "other people matter." | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Humans receive, share, and spread positivity to others through relationships. Relationships are important in bad times and good times. Relationships can be strengthened by reacting to one another positively. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Typically positive things take place in the presence of other people. Meaning is also known as purpose, and answers the question of "why?" Discovering a clear "why" puts everything into context from work to relationships to other parts of life. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Finding meaning is learning that there is something greater than oneself. Working with meaning drives people to continue striving for a desirable goal. Accomplishments are the pursuit of success and mastery. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Unlike the other parts of PERMA, they are sometimes pursued even when accomplishments do not result in positive emotions, meaning, or relationships. Accomplishments can activate other elements of PERMA, such as pride, under positive emotion. Accomplishments can be individual or community-based, fun- or work-based.Each ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
The Character Strengths and Virtues (CSV) handbook (2004) was the first attempt by Seligman and Peterson to identify and classify positive psychological traits of human beings. Much like the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of general psychology, the CSV provided a theoretical framework to as... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Instead, researchers suggested the 24 strengths are more accurately grouped into just three or four categories: Intellectual Strengths, Interpersonal Strengths, and Temperance Strengths, or alternatively, Interpersonal Strengths, Fortitude, Vitality, and Cautiousness. These strengths, and their classifications, have em... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
In the 1970s, psychologist Csikszentmihalyi began studying flow, a state of absorption where one's abilities are well-matched to the demands at-hand. He often refers to it as "optimal experience". Flow is characterized by intense concentration, loss of self-awareness, a feeling of being perfectly challenged (neither bo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Anyone can experience flow and it can be felt in different domains, such as play, creativity, and work. Flow is achieved when the challenge of the situation meets one's personal abilities. A mismatch of challenge for someone of low skills results in a state of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed; insufficient challenge for... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
A good example of this would be an adult reading a children's book. They would not feel challenged enough to be engaged or motivated in the reading. Csikszentmihalyi explained this using various combinations of challenge and skills to predict psychological states. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
These four states included the following: Apathy low challenge and low skill(s) Relaxation low challenge and high skill(s) Anxiety high challenge and low skill(s) Flow high challenge and high skill(s)Accordingly, an adult reading a children's book would most likely be in the relaxation state. The adult has no need to w... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Challenge is a well-founded explanation for how one enters the flow state and employs intense concentration. However, other factors contribute. For example, one must be intrinsically motivated to participate in the activity/challenge. If the individual is not interested in the task, then there is no possibility of thei... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Flow can be beneficial in parenting children. When flow is enhanced between parents and their children, the parents are more capable of thriving in their role as a parent. A parenting style that is positively oriented will result in children that experience lower levels of stress and improved well-being.Flow also has b... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Students who experience flow have a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. Reduced stress can also be a benefit of this state which helps with students' mental health and well-being. As well as increased resilience this also helps students to overcome challenges or setbacks by teaching them a growth mindset.Most teac... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
The design of the education system was not able to account for such needs. One school implemented a program called PASS. They acknowledged that students needed more challenge and individual advancement; they referred to this as sport culture. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
This PASS program integrated an elective class into which students could immerse themselves. Such activities included self-paced learning, mastery-based learning, performance learning, and so on.Flow benefits general well-being. It is a positive and intrinsically motivating experience. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
It is known to "produce intense feelings of enjoyment". It can improve our lives by making them happier and more meaningful. Csikszentmihalyi discovered that our personal growth and development generates happiness. Flow is positive experience because it promotes that opportunity for personal development. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
While Flow can be beneficial to students, narrow focus when students are experiencing Flow can cause them to become overly focused on a particular task. This can lead to students neglecting other important aspects of their learning.In positive psychology there can be misunderstandings on what clinicians and individuals... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Paul Wong introduced the idea of a second wave of positive psychology, focused on the pursuit of meaning in life, which he contrasted with the pursuit of happiness in life. Ivtzan, Lomas, Hefferon, and Worth have recast positive psychology as being about positive outcome or positive mental health, and have explored the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Some of their examples included: The dialectic of optimism and pessimism: Optimism is associated with longevity, but strategic pessimism can lead to more effective planning and decision making. The dialectic of self-esteem and humility: Self-esteem is related to well-being, but pursuit of self-esteem can increase depre... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Topical and methodological development expanded the field of positive psychology beyond its core theories and methods. Positive psychology is now a global area of study, with various national indices tracking citizens' happiness ratings. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Research in positive psychology, well-being, eudaimonia and happiness, and the theories of Diener, Ryff, Keyes, and Seligman cover a broad range of topics including "the biological, personal, relational, institutional, cultural, and global dimensions of life." A meta-analysis on 49 studies in 2009 showed that Positive ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
However the positive effect was weaker than in the 2009 meta-analysis; the authors concluded that this was because they only used higher quality studies. The PPIs they considered included counting blessings, kindness practices, making personal goals, showing gratitude and focusing on personal strengths. Another review ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
The personality traits most associated with well-being are extraversion, agreeability, and low levels of neuroticism. In a study published in 2020, students were enrolled in a positive psychology course that focused on improving happiness and well-being through teaching about positive psychology. The participants answe... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
At the end of the semester those same students reported significantly higher scores in all categories (p<.001) minus engagement which was significant at p<.05. One of the aims of this study was to make it rewarding for positive psychology interventions to stay in the participants lives. The authors stated, “Not only do... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Quantitative methods in positive psychology include p-technique factor analysis, dynamic factor analysis, interindividual differences and structural equation modeling, spectral analysis and item response models, dynamic systems analysis, latent growth analysis, latent-class models, hierarchical linear modeling, measure... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
A 2012 Journal of Positive Psychology article published by Grant J. Rich explores the use of qualitative methodology to study positive psychology. Rich addresses the popularity of quantitative methods in studying the empirical questions that positive psychology presents. He argues that there is an "overemphasis" on qua... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Changing happiness levels through interventions is a further methodological advancement in the study of positive psychology, and has been the focus of various academic and scientific psychological publications. Happiness-enhancing interventions include expressing kindness, gratitude, optimism, humility, awe, and mindfu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
In their research, they created a behavioral experiment using two six-week interventions. One intervention studied was the performance of acts of kindness. The other was focused on gratitude and emphasized the counting of one's blessings. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
The study participants who went through the behavioral interventions reported higher levels of happiness and well-being than those who did not participate in either intervention. The paper provides experimental support for the effect of gratitude and kindness on enhancing subjective well-being and happiness. Further re... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
The researchers concluded that interventions are "most successful when participants know about, endorse, and commit to the intervention." The article provides support that when individuals enthusiastically take part in behavioral interventions, such as expression of optimism and gratitude, they may increase happiness a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
They studied the interaction effects between gratitude and humility through behavior interventions. The interventions they studied were writing a gratitude letter and writing a 14-day diary. In both interventions, Kruse, et al. found that gratitude and humility are connected and are "mutually reinforcing." | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
The article also discusses how gratitude, and its associated humility, may lead to more positive emotional states and subjective well-being. Researchers Melanie Rudd, Kathleen D. Vohs, and Jennifer Aaker conducted a series of experiments that showed a positive effect of awe on subjective well-being, publishing their re... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Experiences that heighten awe may lead to higher levels of life satisfaction and, in turn, higher levels of happiness and subjective well-being. Mindfulness interventions may also increase happiness. In a Mindfulness article published in 2011 by Torbjörn Josefsson, Pernilla Larsman, Anders G. Broberg, and Lars-Gunnar L... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
The creation of various national indices of happiness have expanded the field of positive psychology to a global scale. In a January 2000 article in American Psychologist, psychologist Ed Diener argued for the creation of a national happiness index in the United States. Such an index would provide measurements of happi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Diener proposed that the national index include various sub-measurements of subjective well-being, including "pleasant affect, unpleasant affect, life satisfaction, fulfillment, and more specific states such as stress, affection, trust, and joy." In 2012, the first World Happiness Report was published. The World Happin... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |

Many aspects of positive psychology have been criticized. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
In 1988, psychologists Shelley E. Taylor and Jonathan D. Brown co-authored a Psychological Bulletin article that coined the phrase positive illusions. Positive illusions are the cognitive processes individuals engage in when they self-aggrandize or self-enhance. They are unrealistically positive or self-affirming attit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
However, later research found that positive illusions and related attitudes lead to psychological maladaptive conditions such as poorer social relationships, expressions of narcissism, and negative workplace outcomes, thus reducing the positive effects that positive illusions have on subjective well-being, overall happ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
The extent of the downfall of high positivity or flourishing is one could become incapable of psychological growth, unable to self-reflect, and tend to hold racial biases. By contrast, negativity, sometimes evidenced in mild to moderate depression, is correlated with less distortion of reality. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Therefore, Schneider argues, negativity might play an important role within the dynamics of human flourishing. Engaging in conflict and acknowledging appropriate negativity, including certain negative emotions like guilt, might better promote flourishing. Schneider wrote: "perhaps genuine happiness is not something you... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
In 2003, Ian Sample noted that "Positive psychologists also stand accused of burying their heads in the sand and ignoring that depressed, even merely unhappy people, have real problems that need dealing with." He quoted Steven Wolin, a clinical psychiatrist at George Washington University, as saying that the study of p... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |

A recent critical response to the field of positive psychology is that around toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is the phenomenon in which individuals do not fully acknowledge, process, or manage the entire spectrum of human emotion, including anger and sadness. This genre of criticism against positive psychology argu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Richard Lazarus, who was well known in psychology for his Cognitive-Motivational-Relational theory of emotions, thoroughly critiqued positive psychology's methodological and philosophical components. He holds that giving more detail and insight into the positive is not bad, but not at the expense of the negative, becau... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Additionally, he claims that emotions are fluid, meaning that the context they appear in changes over time. He states that "all emotions have the potential of being either one or the other, or both, on different occasions, and even on the same occasion when an emotion is experienced by different persons" The third issu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Lazarus's final methodological complaint is social science researchers' tendency to not adequately define and measure emotions. Most assessments are quick checklists and do not provide adequate debriefing. Many researchers do not differentiate between fluid emotional states and relatively stable personality traits. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology |
Lazarus holds that positive psychology claims to be new and innovative but the majority of research on stress and coping theory makes much of the same claims as positive psychology.
