In this episode, we speak about postive pyschology with guest Michelle Falzon, MSc
Positive psychology is a field of psychology that focuses on the study of positive emotions, strengths, virtues, and well-being. Unlike traditional psychology, which often focuses on addressing mental illness and dysfunction, positive psychology aims to understand and promote the factors that contribute to a fulfilling and flourishing life.
Some key areas of study within positive psychology include:
Positive emotions: Research in positive psychology explores emotions such as happiness, joy, gratitude, love, and contentment, and how they contribute to overall well-being.
Character strengths and virtues: Positive psychology identifies and studies the character traits and virtues that contribute to human flourishing, such as resilience, optimism, gratitude, perseverance, and kindness.
Optimal functioning: Positive psychology seeks to understand the conditions and practices that lead to optimal human functioning in various domains of life, including work, relationships, education, and personal development.
Subjective well-being: Positive psychology examines the subjective experiences of well-being, life satisfaction, and happiness, and explores factors that influence individuals' perceptions of their own lives.
Positive interventions: Positive psychology research also involves developing and evaluating interventions and practices that promote well-being and enhance people's quality of life. These interventions may include activities such as gratitude exercises, mindfulness meditation, and strengths-based interventions.
