▼ In a time, where demands, performance pressure, and stresses and strains are
continually increasing and mental disorders like depression and burnout are
widespread, the need for
interventions, that could help reduce or even prevent
these negative developments, rises. A promising opportunity to counteract the
increase of mental disorders is to strengthen a person’s
well-
being
preemptively. Previous studies were able to show that
interventions rooted in
Positive Psychology (PP), so-called
positive psychological interventions
(PPI), are effective in decreasing depressive symptoms and enhancing
subjective well-
being (SWB), that is life satisfaction and the balance of
positive and negative affect (Diener, Lucas & Oishi, 2002). However, it is
still unclear, whether and how these
interventions affect
psychological well-
being (PWB) as defined by Ryff (1989). PWB reflects optimal
psychological
functioning and is associated with a variety of health advantages. As people
with high PWB are seven times less likely to develop a major depression (Wood
& Joseph, 2010), the preventive enhancement of PWB is of high importance - not
only to make people happier and healthier, but also to potentially counteract
the consistent prevalence increase of mental disorders. Thus, this
dissertation examines whether various known
interventions based on PP are able
to enhance PWB. The simultaneous examination of SWB and PWB aims at enabling a
deeper understanding of the differences and similarities between these two
well-
being-constructs that are still controversially debated. To investigate
the efficacy of different PPI, an online study was conducted which randomly
assigned more than 1500 people to one of four treatment conditions (Three Good
Things: TGT; Best Possible Self: BPS; Using Signature Strengths in a New Way:
USS as
well as a combined intervention: KOM) and two control groups (waitlist
control group: WL and placebo control group: LD). Participants were asked to
fill out various questionnaires regarding their
well-
being. Following pretest
participants were asked to perform their given exercise every day for about
five minutes for the course of one week and then to complete the
questionnaires once more. They were invited to do so three more times, one
month, three months and six months after the intervention, in order to
investigate possible long-term effects and to produce a comprehensive picture
of every intervention’s impact. A high dropout-rate that differed
significantly between the groups and was influenced by different outcome
variables, resulted in significant pretreatment imbalances on observed
variables across the treatment and control groups. In order to correct for
these imbalances a propensity score weighting (McCaffrey et al., 2013) was
conducted and subsequent analyses were performed using the matched data.
Results showed that findings from previous studies were partly replicated in
that certain PPI are associated with increases in
well-
being and decreases in
depressive symptoms. As hypothesized, significant effects could…

▼ Psychological Capital has equal importance in the productivity of an organization as those of other important aspects such as finance, human and social capital (Hodges 2010). With regard to South African situation, it remains a matter of study and analysis to conclude if
positive outcomes can be achieved through
psychological capital factors such as hope, optimism, self- efficacy and resilience.
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between resilience, hope, self- efficacy and optimism; as
well as
subjective well-
being and performance in public health institutions. A cross sectional survey was used for the study with a questionnaire as an instrument for collecting data. Data was gathered in the public hospitals and clinics in the district of Uthungulu KwaZulu-Natal. A sample of (n=100) professional nurses was obtained comprising 28 males and 72 females. The questionnaire was divided into four parts: (i) Biographical Data,(ii) PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ 12), (iii) Employee Performance Measure (Self- Report Version) and (iv) Satisfaction with Life Scale. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics, graphs and correlations in SPSS.
The results suggest that nurses in public health hospitals and clinics have high levels of
psychological capital components. The main findings of this study indicated that there is a significant relationship between
psychological capital and performance, as
well as
subjective well-
being. The results also revealed that PsyCap was a significant predictor of Performance and
Subjective well-
being. High PsyCap nurses reported higher Performance and
Subjective well-
being than nurses with lower levels of PsyCap.

▼ Gratitude exercises can have hedonic benefits, but
observed effects have differed in terms of intensity and duration.
These differences could be due to qualitative differences in how
gratitude exercises have been operationalized and in how
well-
being
has been measured between studies. The present online gratitude
study randomly assigned participants to perform weekly gratitude
exercises varied along one of three dimensions. These dimensions
included personalization (
being thankful to someone versus
being
generally thankful), depth of writing (writing five sentences
versus one sentence), and number of things one is grateful for
(five versus one). Increases in
well being were measured using a
balance of activated and deactivated emotions, derived from
Feldman-Barrett & Russell (1998). Results indicated that
being
more grateful (about one or several things) generally led to
greater affective rewards but only in cases where gratitude was not
directed at a person. As
well, gratitude exercises may have more
pronounced effects on the negative activated/
positive deactivated
axis of emotions.

▼ The practice of gratitude has become increasingly prevalent in popular culture as a self-help intervention aimed at improving individuals’ happiness and overall well-being. Although a great deal of empirical work has promoted the benefits of practicing gratitude (see Davis et al., 2016 for a review), less work has been conducted examining the conditions under which the traditional gratitude interventions are less effective, or even entirely ineffective. One potential boundary condition that may be associated with the benefit individuals report after engaging in the practice of gratitude is fluency – an individual’s subjective experience of ease or difficulty. When tasks are experienced as relatively easy, people are more likely to indicate they possess the qualities inherent within the task (e.g., Schwarz et al., 1991). That is, if a gratitude exercise is experienced with relative ease, this ought to be reflected in their subsequent self-relevant judgments (e.g., greater reported gratitude and well-being). In Studies 1-3 we attempted to manipulate fluency (i.e., subjective experience of ease) in a common gratitude intervention in order to assess its role as a potential moderator between the practice of gratitude and well-being. Although the manipulation was unsuccessful, we found individual difference evidence that engaging in a gratitude task was associated with greater well-being when the task was experienced as subjectively easy; but was no different from a control when the task was experienced as subjectively difficult. Next, we tried to mitigate the negative impact of low fluency by providing an alternative explanation for its meaning – namely that it was not important diagnostically (Study 4) or that it indicated more meaningful responding (Study 5). Although Study 5 showed some dampening of the effect of fluency, it failed to reach significance. Finally, overall effects were examined in a series of meta-analyses. Overall, the results provided evidence that gratitude tasks were associated with greater well-being when they were experienced as easy, but were no better than a control when they were experienced as difficult. Further, as subjective difficulty increased, gratitude tasks became less effective (as evidenced by an overall negative slope) as a means of boosting well-being; control tasks however were unaffected by subjective difficulty (as evidenced by a flat slope). These studies represent some of the first steps toward understanding the role of individuals’ phenomenological experience in response to a gratitude intervention. Future directions and real-world implications are discussed.

Boundaries of Fostering Happiness: Implicit Theories of Happiness Predict Reactions to Positive Psychological Interventions.

▼ Positive Psychology Interventions (PPIs) are activities designed to facilitate greater psychological well-being through building cognitive and behavioural habits and skills (Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, 2005). However, there may be individual differences that play a role in the effect PPIs have. The present research evaluated how individuals’ implicit theories regarding happiness as being controllable or not controllable (Howell, Passmore, & Holder, 2016) may predict their responses to and participation in PPIs, and in turn if those beliefs may be linked to the positive outcomes of the activities. In four online studies, the relationship between implicit theories of happiness and PPIs was explored, first gauging participants’ initial thoughts towards PPIs (Study 1; N = 164), then evaluating the outcomes of participants completing PPIs (Study 2; N = 295), next investigating the potential role of expectancy effects on the positive impact of PPIs (Study 3; N = 262), and finally attempting to experimentally manipulate the implicit theories of happiness participants hold to test their causal role on responses to PPIs (Study 4; N = 177). Results supported the idea that individual differences in implicit theories of happiness may be an important variable to consider in the way people view and react to PPIs and the benefits they derive from doing PPIs. Experimental studies showed little effect of expectancy and failed to shift people’s chronic response style substantially. Results further suggest there may be an indirect relationship between implicit theories, attitudes towards PPIs, and change in affect following PPIs.

▼ Recent research provides evidence that the study of
positive characteristics and human strengths can increase clinical
understanding and treatment of psychopathology. Investigation of
interventions based on
positive functioning is concordant with the
aims of clinical
psychology, and explores an implicit but
understudied aspect of intervention development. One promising
strengths-based intervention is the gratitude list or diary.
Several studies have provided evidence that gratitude diary
interventions are effective in improving
well-
being, and
experimental research suggests that gratitude diary
interventions
may also have the ability to reduce depressive symptoms and other
forms of psychopathology. However, despite broad enthusiasm for
gratitude
interventions, many theoretical and practical questions
about gratitude itself remain unanswered. If a gratitude
intervention is efficacious in the treatment of psychopathology,
what mediators and mechanisms might explain its efficacy? Does
gratitude possess unique characteristics that warrant the addition
of
interventions based on gratitude to a field already inundated
with excessive variety in treatments? Methodologically stringent
studies are required to evaluate gratitude
interventions on
substantive clinical outcome measures before the enthusiasm
surrounding gratitude
interventions can be considered warranted.
However, research on the efficacy of gratitude
interventions can be
supported by studies examining causal pathways by which the
improvement of gratitude might decrease symptomatology. The present
longitudinal study examines the relationships amongst trait
gratitude,
subjective and
psychological well-
being, and depression
to determine if increased
subjective well-
being mediates the
relationship between trait gratitude and depression. Results of
linear regression analyses indicate that while controlling for
other variables, gratitude has a moderately sized, unique effect on
later depressive symptoms. A test of mediation indicates that the
effect of gratitude on depression is partially mediated by the life
satisfaction component of
subjective well-
being, but not by
positive affect or negative affect. Furthermore, the direct effect
of gratitude on depressive symptoms remains significant and
moderately sized in the presence of the mediating effect.
Implications and limitations of this study, as
well as future
directions, are discussed.

▼ O bem-estar subjetivo, ou felicidade, consiste na maneira como as pessoas avaliam suas próprias vidas, tanto de forma afetiva como cognitiva. Este juízo terá grande importância nas diversas esferas da vida, influenciando o desempenho social e profissional da pessoa. De forma agregada, níveis maiores, ou menores, de bem-estar subjetivo possuem impactos tanto no sistema político quanto na economia. Este estudo aplicou três diferentes questionários de mensuração de bem-estar subjetivo: o Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, com 29 itens; a Escala Geral de Felicidade, com 4 itens e uma escala única em uma amostra de 498 pessoas que trabalham no comércio de Ribeirão Preto e duas cidades vizinhas, e conduziu as análises destes instrumentos. Além destas análises, foram estudadas as diferenças entre os diversos indivíduos que compõem a amostra, no intuito de investigar se idade, sexo, etnia, estado civil, escolaridade, número de filhos, atividade profissional (comerciantes / comerciários), emprego efetivo / temporário, renda, religião, atividade sócio política e saúde poderiam influenciar o nível de bem-estar subjetivo. Algumas destas características mostraram-se significativas.
The subjective well-being, or happiness, consists on the way people see their own lives, in affective or cognitive way. This judgment is very important in the different ambits of life, influencing the social and professional aspects of people. In different levels, the subjective well-being has impact on political and economical systems. This study used three different questionaries to measure the subjective well-being: Oxford Happiness Questionnaire with 29 items; Subjective Happiness Scale, with 4 items, and a single scale with 498 subjects who work in Ribeirão Preto commerce including two other cities. Structural analyses of Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and Subjective Happiness Scale were done. Besides these analyses, we assessed the difference among several subjects from the study group, aiming to investigate if age, gender, ethics, civil status, educational level, number of children, professional activity (salespeople), temporary job or regular job, income, religion, political participation, and health, could influence their level of subjective well-being. Some of these characteristics are significant.

▼ University rugby players often pursue academic and semi-professional sporting careers simultaneously which is demanding, stressful and highly competitive. This situation gives rise to individual needs and how they cope with these needs will have an impact on their overall well-being. The needs and coping mechanisms of the senior first and second team rugby players of the North-West University PUK Rugby Institute (NWU-PRT) were determined by means of a focus-group interview, essays and individual interviews. The focus-group interview was conducted with seven senior university rugby players and the essays were completed by 28 senior university rugby players. The individual interviews were conducted with the coach of the senior first team and the sport psychology consultant of the u/19 team. The results identified themes regarding time-management, motivation, injuries, character, coping, and goal-setting. A programme (founded on the experiential learning theory) which focuses on these themes and aimed at facilitating coping and well-being of university rugby players, was developed. The Experiential Learning Programme (ELP) consists of six sessions of one hour duration conducted over two consecutive weeks. The themes of the sessions are; Motivation, Goal-Setting, Time-Management, Coping with Injuries, Emotion-Focused Coping and Individual Zone of Optimal Functioning.
A two group (experimental and control) pre-test and post-test design was used and the sample group was drawn from 41 rugby players from the u/19 A training squad of the NWU-PRI. The experimental (n=20) and control (n=21) groups both underwent pre- and post-testing, whereas the ELP was only presented to the experimental group. Post-testing took place one month after the ELP was presented. The battery of tests used to determine
the effectiveness of the ELP were, the Affectometer (Kammann & Flett, 1983), Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (Chesney, Folkman & Chambers, 1996), Proactive Attitude Scale (Schwarzer, 1997), Fortitude Questionnaire (Pretorius, 1998) and Cognitive Appraisal Questionnaire (Botha & Wissing, 2005). The results obtained proved the ELP to be effective in facilitating coping and well-being in university rugby players.
The experimental group's coping abilities showed great improvement in dealing with life difficulties. They are able to make better use of coping strategies lik, problem-focused coping (d=0.73), the ability to stop unpleasant emotions and thoughts (d=0.73) and to seek out social support from family and friends (d=1.07). They also showed marked improvements in the evaluation (appraisal) of good and/or bad events (d=0.63) and their ability to move towards action (proactive attitude) (d-0.73). The extent of positive emotions (d-0.75) they experienced increased, whereas the extent of negative emotions (d=-0.55) experienced decreased. It can be concluded that the experimental group's sense of well-being was enhanced. The control group showed no improvements in their coping ability or well-being. The improvements in the experimental…

▼ This project started off with gathering information on gratitude: what it is, how it can be practiced and how it contributes to
subjective well-
being. Amongst scientific papers, two specifically interesting books can be found: Gratitude works! (Emmons, R. A., 2013) and The How of
Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want (Lyubomirsky, S., 2007) which can be recommended to everyone with an interest in gratitude.
Part 1: Hear
In the first part of the report, an analysis is done on rituals, from where gratitude is involved, to more specific ways to practice gratitude (inter alia by means of journals and apps). A deeper understanding is gained about the elements needed to practice gratitude. The problem is not defined by how and when to list or write about good things in life, but rather how to increase people’s conscious awareness (of gratitude’s emotional and symbolic meaning) and how to integrate this practice into daily life. The design goal was therefore: “Making people between 20 and 40 years old (more) aware of the things they can be grateful for in their daily lives.”
Part 2: Create
In the second part of the report some simple ideas were tested, called probes. First, the probes helped to explore how pleasure can be gained, more directly and from something visible, on the short term when practicing gratitude. Second, it was explored how people can be triggered to practice gratitude regularly in daily life.
It was discovered that the target group, of temperate and open-minded people from 20 to 40 years old, does not like extensive writing or deep reflection on gratitude. The majority has simply not thought about another way to practice gratitude in everyday life, some expect it to take much time, to be difficult or they do not expect anything to derive from it. With low-effort taken into consideration, the following vision was created: “Make people practice gratitude as they water flowers, making flower buds bloom with just a simple act in full awareness”.
After the importance of involving an element of surprise, providing variation (by offering various gratitude topics) and the right guidance became clear, four concepts were presented. From the four concepts Gratitea, a tea ritual, is chosen to be developed further. The advantage of a tea ritual, is that it is an existing moment in itself, whereas a night lamp (one of the other concepts) is an existing product, but less of a moment. The concept is developed into an incentive to practice gratitude by offering: three ‘assignments’ (that stimulate people to do more than thinking: to cherish a memory, experience the moment and pass something on) and a set of twelve topics, that ensure variation and inspiration.
Suggestions on how to practice gratitude and quotes of people’s gratitude experiences were tested with a focus group and then developed into poems. The poems are connected to the twelve topics and inspire people, without depriving their freedom to make a personal interpretation. They may help people to make associations and get them in touch…

▼ It is easy to imagine how positive psychology (the science of human flourishing) applies to people who are already doing well and wish to do better. It is less obvious how to apply positive psychology in negative contexts: Can positive psychology concepts and strategies help people flourish in the face of mental illness, trauma, and loss? The current investigation presents findings from three randomized trials of interventions informed by positive and clinical psychology, which aim to help people survive and thrive in the face of highly challenging circumstances: depression, mixed traumatic and adverse events, and bereavement. Chapter 1 summarizes the findings of a randomized controlled trial evaluating a smartphone-based/web-based application (app) that integrates clinical and positive psychology strategies with game mechanics in order to alleviate depression symptoms. Results indicated that the app reduced symptoms of depression (in comparison to a waiting list control) and that there were no significant differences between two versions of the app. Chapter 2 summarizes the findings of a randomized controlled trial evaluating an online writing-based intervention aimed at fostering posttraumatic growth (PTG) after adverse events. This intervention, called prospective writing, prompts participants to seek new doors opening in their lives in the wake of loss and trauma. Results indicated that prospective writing fostered PTG for people with recent and long-ago trauma/loss, and mediation analyses suggested that attending to new possibilities was indeed the mechanism for this change. Chapter 3 describes the creation and initial testing of a group-format psychosocial intervention aimed at fostering PTG. Acceptability and feasibility analyses of the data (from an ongoing randomized trial) indicated that bereaved adult participants found this intervention helpful, engaging, inoffensive, and not overly upsetting; that they appreciated diverse intervention modules; and that they would recommend the intervention to other bereaved people. Collectively, these findings underscore the usefulness of positive psychology in negative contexts and suggest further research into intervention strategies that can help suffering people to not only survive but also thrive in the wake of adversity.

▼ Orientations to
happiness (OTH) – to what extent people endorse pleasure, engagement, and meaning – and Grit – perseverance and passion for long term goals – have not been studied together longitudinally before. Further, grit and OTH have not been investigated together along with a measure of
psychological well-
being before. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the links between and among OTH, grit, and
well-
being through a number of longitudinal mediation analyses. Data from the International
Well-
Being Study was used, in which 755 participants completed surveys at five time points over one year. The results illustrated that all of the variables were positively related to each other over time, except for a negative relationship found between grit and pleasure OTH. Pleasure, meaning and engagement were all found to be significant predictors and outcomes of the longitudinal mediations of grit to
well-
being and of
well-
being to grit. Additionally, engagement was found to be the only OTH pathway that was a marginally significant mediator of the relationship between grit and
well-
being. Future research should further investigate the relationships between OTH, grit and
well-
being. This research also has implications for devising and implementing
interventions that increase grit and OTH, which also in turn are likely to improve
well-
being, decrease mental illness, and improve levels of success.

▼ Most psychological research from which treatments are developed has typically been from the majority population overlooking American Indian/Alaskan Native racial/ethnic groups. This qualitative study examines how traditional Lakota healers conceptualize well-being from their unique perspectives. Seven healers were interviewed using a 3 question semi-structured interview guide. The interviews were transcribed into the Lakota language then translated from Lakota to English. The interviewed were then analyzed inductively using a grounded theory method. From the data, a central theme emerged: the traditional Lakota concept of well-being (Wicozani). The healers identified five distinct way that well-being (Wicozani) may be achieved. These are that: (1) well-being is attained and maintained through one's prayerful awareness and experience with religious beliefs or the sacred/the holy - the Wakan; (2) well-being is attained and maintained through maintaining healthy relationships with family, tribal structure and all of creation; (3) well-being is attained and maintained through consistent practice of prayer through rituals and traditions; (4) well-being is attained and maintained through successful recovery from traumatic experiences; (5) the need to enact the values to attain and maintain an integrated sense of well-being. The results suggest that there are similarities across the Lakota culture and the majority culture despite epistemic difference. Based on the findings, implication and recommendations were made.

▼ Teaching is considered one of the most challenging professions, often associated with high levels of occupational stress and job turnover that perpetuates additional negative outcomes including depleted funding for school districts, poor education quality, and reduced student academic performance. Research shows that teachers are an integral part of the classroom with the power to positively influence students’ perceived classroom support and emotional competence (Jennings & Greenberg, 2009). Positive psychology has facilitated school-based initiatives that foster feelings of subjective well-being (happiness) through the implementation of brief, scripted activities (i.e., Positive Psychology Interventions; PPIs) that reflect the thoughts and behaviors of happy people (Layous & Lyubomirsky, 2014). Studies have demonstrated the positive impact of positive psychology interventions (PPIs) for adults (Bolier et al., 2013) and youth including a multicomponent, multitarget PPI (i.e., Well-Being Promotion Program) that improves students’ well-being (Suldo et al., 2015). McCullough’s (2015) investigation of the efficacy of a strengths-based intervention (Utilizing Signature Strengths in New Ways) on elementary teachers’ well-being revealed promising effects on teacher reduced emotional distress, increased life and work satisfaction, and SWB. This study examined the additive impact of teachers’ participation in the brief strengths-based teacher intervention (SBTI) on elementary students’ social and emotional outcomes, as reflected in levels of SWB, psychopathology, as well as classroom engagement and relationships among teachers and students. Concurrently, these elementary students took part in a Classwide Well-Being Promotion Program, a 10-week intervention targeting a variety of positive psychological constructs (i.e., positive relationships, gratitude, kindness, character strengths, hope) with additional parent and teacher components. A total of 7 classes (4 fifth grade; 3 fourth grade) within one large elementary school received the classwide, multicomponent student intervention in spring 2016, while 3 teachers were randomly assigned to participate in the SBTI concurrently. Follow-up analyses examined group differences on the variables of interest for the combined intervention (WBPP + SBTI) group, relative to classes of students engaged in the classwide-only intervention (WBPP). At immediate post-intervention, results revealed that classes of students participating in the combined intervention group did not demonstrate significantly improved student-reported life satisfaction, positive or negative affect, classmate or teacher support, emotional or behavioral engagement, nor teacher-reported relationship satisfaction, instrumental help, and emotional or behavioral engagement relative to the classwide-only intervention group. Additionally, students in classes within the combined approach reported statistically higher levels of negative affect and reduced levels of perceived teacher support relative to a classwide-only…

▼ A total of 127 2nd - 4th graders were
randomly assigned to 10 days of journaling in either a Gratitude,
Hassles, or control (i.e. Free-write) condition to investigate if
the
happiness (i.e.
subjective well-
being, SWB) of the Gratitude
journalers would increase more than it would for students who
maintained a contrasting affect or control journal. SWB measures
were satisfaction with life (SWL),
positive affect (PA), and
negative affect (NA). Mean SWB tended to change in the predicted
direction; however, these changes were inconsistent and did not
vary significantly by condition. Gratitude
journalers' SWL increased for girls and decreased for boys. NA
reducing benefits of Hassle journaling were greater for girls.
Three of four Gratitude journalers expressed a
positive emotional
impact from journaling. Unexpectedly, so did three-fifths of Hassle
journalers. Although underlying reasons varied, they help explain
the insufficient differentiation in affect by condition. Journal
entries indicated one-tenth of both the Gratitude and Hassle
journal content was not indicative of intended affect. Affect
prompts were effective but imperfect. Affect changes attributed to
condition were likely confounded by limitations of the induction
method. Reasons for the inconclusive main
findings may include students' age and the brevity of the
intervention. Given the innocuous, child-centered nature of the
intervention, and its fit with educational methods, there may be a
role - primarily for girls - for gratitude journaling to enhance
SWL and for hassles journaling to decrease negative affect.
Journaling about negative, self-selected, or salient emotions may
reduce negative affect, thus enhance SWB as effectively as
journaling about
positive emotions.

▼ A dual-factor model of mental health includes indicators of wellness (i.e., subjective well-being; SWB) and psychopathology (i.e., internalizing and externalizing behavior problems) in defining youth mental health. In this model, four categories of psychological functioning with distinct levels of SWB and psychopathology emerge, including two that are overlooked (i.e., Vulnerable and Symptomatic but Content) in traditional assessments that assume SWB and psychopathology are opposite ends of the same continuum. The present study investigated the 1-year stability of adolescent mental health as classified by a dual-factor model, and identified predictors of stability and change, in a sample of 425 high school students. Results included that 60% of the high school students remained in the same mental health group over both time points. The Complete Mental Health Group (i.e., high SWB and low psychopathology) showed the most stability over time as nearly 80% of students initially in this group retained that mental health profile one year later. The initially Symptomatic but Content group (i.e., high SWB and high psychopathology) showed the least stability, with only 17% of students remaining in this mental health group the following year. Higher socioeconomic status and lower neuroticism reliably and uniquely predicted which students who initially experienced Complete Mental Health remained that way. Low neuroticism also predicted which students with partial mental health initially (i.e., Vulnerable or Symptomatic but Content) improved to Complete Mental Health. Once the shared variance amongst factors had been accounted for, no factors reliably and uniquely predicted which students initially Troubled stayed that way, nor which students moved from partial mental health (i.e., Vulnerable, Symptomatic but Content) to Troubled. This study contributes to the literature by providing the first examination of the stability of high school students' mental health as defined by a dual-factor model. Additionally, this study provides insight into the factors which predict students' stability and movement across mental health groups over time. Both sets of findings can be useful for school-based mental health professionals' prevention and intervention work with regard to how to operationalize student mental health, and intrapersonal risk factors important to detect.

▼ Youth psychological well-being has become increasingly acknowledged as not merely the absence of psychological distress, but the presence of positive indicators of optimal functioning. Students with complete mental health (i.e., low psychopathology and high well-being) demonstrate the best academic, social, and physical health outcomes. As such, there remains a need to address children’s well-being through a holistic approach emphasizing the prevention of mental health problems and promotion of flourishing. Positive psychology interventions (PPIs) have emerged as a promising method of enhancing students’ complete mental health. Previous investigations support the utility of multitarget PPIs with middle school students and single-target PPIs (e.g., character strengths, hope) with younger elementary students, though the extent to which comprehensive multitarget, multicomponent PPIs enhance classes of elementary students’ outcomes relative to a control has not been examined. This study compared levels of subjective well-being, mental health problems, classroom social support, and classroom engagement between students in 6 classrooms randomly assigned to participate in a 10-week intervention targeting a variety of positive psychological constructs (i.e., positive relationships, gratitude, kindness, character strengths, hope) with parent and teacher components, and students in 7 classrooms randomly assigned to a delayed intervention control group. Follow-up analyses examined levels of outcomes of the immediate intervention group relative to the control group at post-intervention, as well as levels of outcomes in the intervention group three months after program completion. At post-intervention, classes of students participating in the immediate intervention group did not have significantly improved student-reported life satisfaction, positive affect or negative affect, classmate or teacher support, emotional or behavioral engagement, nor teacher-reported relationship satisfaction, instrumental help, and emotional or behavioral engagement relative to the control classes. However, several trends were found: (a) students in the immediate intervention group had lower negative affect relative to the delayed intervention control among students with greater baseline negative affect levels, (b) students in the immediate intervention group had lower teacher-reported levels of instrumental help relative to the control among students with greater baseline instrumental help levels, and (c) students in the immediate intervention group reported lower levels of behavioral engagement relative to the delayed intervention control. Because of the lack of improvement in immediate intervention group outcomes relative to the control group at post-intervention, continuation of those anticipated improvements from post-intervention to 3-month follow-up could not be detected. However, there was a significant increase in teacher-reported internalizing symptoms from post-intervention to follow-up among the immediate intervention group (without…

▼ The popularity of
happiness studies in China has
steadily increased since the last decade of the 20th century.
Following the practices of Western
happiness research, academics
looking into Chinese
happiness have utilized both self- and
non-self-report measures to understand what Chinese views on
happiness look like, and how demographics affect
subjective
well-
being scores. Both Chinese and Western researchers are
interested in the specifics of Chinese
happiness and data on the
topic can be found among Chinese and English sources. This paper
firstly combines the most impactful studies on
happiness from
English and Chinese sources, to understand what
happiness looks
like from both a broad, global perspective and a specific, Chinese
one. Much of the English data is
being presented for the first time
in Chinese in this paper and serves to educate the Chinese academic
community about the work
being completed by their foreign peers.
Due to the lack of a singular Mandarin word that contains every
connotation within the English term `happiness’, including
positive
affect, fulfillment of desire, and lack of worry, Chinese surveys
that measure
well-
being utilize a handful of different terms: some
researchers use xingfu `幸福’or kuaile `快乐’while others use yukuai
`愉快’. The lack of agreement on a single term within the academic
community has led to analyses that make false equivalences or
generalizations that do not capture the specificity of the Chinese
language. By measuring response to various Chinese
happiness terms,
I will show that there is a practical and measurable difference in
well-
being according to the term
being measured. I argue that it is
imperative for researchers to clearly define the terms they are
measuring so that it may be compared to correct aspects of Western
`happiness’.Finally, I will attempt to elucidate the common factors
Chinese respondents consider when evaluating their
well-
being.
Beyond demographic correlations it is important for research in
this field to understand the considerations people make when
evaluating their lives. Through analysis of these considerations, I
will show that Chinese
happiness is categorized by social relations
and spiritual fulfillment.

▼ The costs of occupational health and
well-
being are increasingly
being considered as sound ‘investments’ as healthy and engaged employees yield direct economic benefits to the company.The concept of Work engagement plays a vital role in this endeavour because engagement entails
positive definitions of employee health and promotes the optimal functioning of employees within an organisational setting. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between work engagement, self-efficacy and optimism amongst call centre employees in a retail organisation in the Western Cape. Over the last several years, most call centre research has
predominately been focused on the aspects and causes of stress, burnout, and the deterrents of employee’s
well-
being. In response to the prevailing preoccupation with negative aspects, the research focused on more
positive aspects of human functioning and experiences. The sample comprised of ninety three call centre employees who are employed in the customer service department in a major retail organisation in the Western Cape. Convenience sampling was utilised. The measuring instruments included the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, The Life
Orientation Test-Revised and The General Self-Efficacy Scale. Statistically significant relationships were found between work engagement, self-efficacy and optimism. It was found that call centre agents displayed average levels of work engagement and optimism however they displayed high levels of self-efficacy. It was furthermore found that a moderate percentage of the variance in work engagement can be explained by self-efficacy and optimism. The implication of
the results is that
interventions that focus on the personal resources (viz. efficacy beliefs,optimism, hope and resiliency) and job resources (viz. physical, social or organizational aspects of the job) will contribute to increasing levels of work engagement.

▼ Pregnancy can be a very difficult time of transition for some women as they have to adapt, change and prepare for the role and responsibility that awaits them after their baby is born. This is especially challenging for first-time mothers as they experience higher levels of anxiety and uncertainty than more experienced mothers. From a fortogenic perspective, pregnancy can be viewed as a developmental opportunity for maturation and growth. With high levels of psychological well-being the new mother will be able achieve optimal functioning by being a sensitive and responsive and confident in her abilities to care for her new-born baby.
There is substantial evidence to show that spirituality is strongly associated with psychological well-being, but the lived experiences of first-time mothers have not yet been explored. Therefore this study aims to explore a group of first-time mothers‟ experiences of meaningfulness during their third trimester of pregnancy by focusing on their spirituality. Qualitative research and a phenomenological design were used to gain in-depth understanding of the experiences of first-time mothers. The Mmogo-Method® and reflective journals were used as data-gathering techniques and visual and textual data were captured. The data were analysed by using thematic analysis (textual) and comparing the symbolic values (visual) with the research question. This group of first-time mothers expressed a very personal and intimate relationship with a Divine reality that they rely on and from it they derive a sense of meaningfulness. This sense of meaning stems from their belief that the Divine reality is the giver of life; they were given a responsibility to carry new life. Unconditional trust in the Divine reality makes them willing to surrender control of their lives and accept the responsibility they were given. They find meaning, which potentially has implications for higher levels of psychological well-being. The findings of this research provide the basis for developing interventions for mothers-to-be to make sense of their pregnancy by relying on their pre-existing spiritual frameworks.

▼ The high prevalence of sexual abuse suffered by women as children is well documented, both internationally and in South Africa. The life outcomes of women who had experienced childhood sexual abuse are generally reported as adverse, yet some of these survivors manage to overcome the abusive relationship and experience positive changes in themselves and their lives. Emerging trauma literature thus supports a philosophical shift from a pathogenic to a autogenic paradigm in which the focus is on positive and adaptive post trauma outcomes. Previous trauma models, which were based on a pathogenic model, are now shifting to a positive psychology trend by incorporating a salutary component, which includes a spiritual and existential dimension as well as an area of potential emerging growth. Information on the constructive coping behaviours, posttraumatic growth and psychological well-being of women who had experienced childhood sexual abuse can lead to the formulation of guidelines with strategies for an intervention programme that can facilitate and enhance coping, posttraumatic growth and psychological well-being in survivors of childhood sexual abuse. This research investigated the coping behaviours, posttraumatic growth and psychological well-being of women who had experienced childhood sexual abuse. The research was carried out in South Africa in the greater Gauteng Province and surrounding areas, with women who had experienced sexual abuse in childhood. A mixed method research design was used in which: the first phase was quantitative research conducted with validated psychometric instruments measuring coping behaviour, posttraumatic growth and psychological well-being. These instruments were the COPE (Coping Self-efficacy Scale), the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Mental Health Continuum, Rosenberg’s Self-esteem Scale and the General Health Questionnaire. The second phase was of a qualitative nature, and explored the stories and experiences of women identified as coping constructively, manifesting posttraumatic growth and psychological well-being, by using semi-structured interviews. Lastly, the data obtained was used to formulate guidelines with specific strategies, which can be used by helping professionals in a group context to facilitate and enhance constructive coping, posttraumatic growth and psychological well-being in survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The results of this research were as follows: prevalence of constructive coping, posttraumatic growth and psychological well-being was determined, and indicated that 58% of participants manifested constructive coping, 60% manifested posttraumatic growth and 42% manifested psychological well-being. Semi-structured interviews conducted with the women scoring in the upper range of coping constructively, growing after the trauma and emerging psychologically well were transcribed and analysed by means of interpretative phenomenological analysis, and the following broad themes emerged: psycho-socio spiritual resources, the healing process and positive…

▼ Physician well-being has become an important area of interest given that reduced well-being can have a negative effect on patient outcomes. However, research has predominantly focused on impairment thus studies addressing physicians' positive functioning are limited. The purpose of this two-phase, mixed methods study was to investigate the well-being and self-regulation capacity of physicians using a positive psychology lens. In Phase 1, 132 physicians (n = 40 physicians; n = 92 resident physicians) completed online questionnaires to assess their levels of psychological and affective well-being and self-regulation capacity. Selected based on Phase 1 data, 12 physicians then took part in an in-depth individual interview in Phase 2 to discuss their experiences of psychological well-being and self-regulation. Results of Phase 1 showed that physicians and resident physicians had moderate and high levels of self-regulation capacity, respectively. While both groups reported high levels of psychological well-being, they had average levels of positive and negative affect. MANOVAs confirmed the hypothesis that high self-regulating physicians and resident physicians would have higher levels of psychological well-being and positive affect compared to those with lower levels. However, those with higher self-regulation capacity did not have lower negative affect, nor did physicians have significantly higher levels of psychological and affective well-being than resident physicians. Regression analyses confirmed the hypothesis that a significant amount of variance in levels of psychological well-being would be explained by self-regulation capacity. There was a particularly strong relationship between self-regulation capacity and the dimensions of purpose in life and environmental mastery, which suggests that physicians who effectively self-manage may be better able to preserve a sense of purpose and an adequate work-life balance in their daily life. A qualitative content analysis of the Phase 2 qualitative data revealed that physicians had both high and low functioning experiences of psychological well-being across the dimensions of self-acceptance, positive relations with others, environmental mastery, and autonomy. They, however, reported high functioning for the dimensions of personal growth and purpose in life. Their experiences also varied based on their professional and personal life contexts, with work-life balance emerging as a prevalent theme. Physicians' self-regulation experiences involved individualized preparation, performance, and evaluation processes that were perceived to influence their well-being. Results of a composite analysis suggest that the development of effective self-regulation skills could be one way to help physicians achieve satisfactory levels of well-being.

▼ Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to test Lyubomirsky et al’s (2005) theory of “sustainable happiness” by using volitional intentional activities to predict increases in
subjective well-
being (SWB), and additionally, considering whether certain personalities, motivation or goal behaviour contributed to changes in
happiness.
Method: 78 participants were tested over 9 weeks (6 weeks first semester, 3 weeks second semester). Participants took part in both the experimental condition where they were instructed to set goals, and the placebo group where were allocated set activities to complete each week. Personality was measured using the NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI; Costa & McCrae, 1992). SWB levels were measured each week using the Satisfaction with Life Scales (SWLS; Diener et al. 1985),
Subjective Happiness Scales (SHS; Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999) and the
Positive Affect Negative Affect Scales (PANAS; Watson et al, 1988). The analysis of data included correlations, analysis of variances and regressions.
Results: Overall SWB increased and negative affect decreased during the experimental conditions. There were no effects for
positive affect. Personality had modest influences on SWB, with conscientiousness showing to influence SWB indirectly by predicting the number of goals achieved. SWB increases did not persist throughout the washout period.
Conclusions: Lyubomirsky et al’s (2005) theory of sustainable
happiness was partially supported as the results showed increases in SWB. Personality and other individual behaviours had small influences on intentional activities and SWB. Future research is advised to modify the model by improving the individual behaviour measurements and perhaps testing the model on participants who have SWB levels below average. Furthermore there is the suggestion that individuals should gain a better understanding of themselves to ensure their personalities are concordant with their goals, in order to produce a greater effect of increased SWB.

▼ Psychological capital (PsyCap), the four dimensions of PsyCap and Perceived Wellness are viewed as
positive constructs. Research indicated these
positive constructs has a beneficial or
positive effect on the organisation's financial performance.. Furthermore, health and wellness awareness is lacking especially in the production-driven manufacturing industry where the profit motive is of paramount importance. The research study used a cross-sectional design,
measuring
Psychological capital and Perceived wellness using questionnaires in the form of the
Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and the Perceived Wellness Survey (PWS), respectively. These questionnaires are self-report measures, which were distributed to a sample of employees from the manufacturing industry (n = 160) in the Western Cape. Various studies both locally and abroad confirmed that the respective measures are both valid and reliable, However, the applicability in South African organisations requires further exploration.The present study aimed to determine what effect the factors of
psychological capital had on the wellness of employees. The relationship between
psychological capital and its effect on employees' wellness was assessed using Pearson correlation, Analysis of variance and Multiple regression analysis. Based on the findings, there was no significant relationshipfound between
psychological capital and the wellness amongst the sample employees in the manufacturing industry. This is however contradictory to what studies found researching similar constructs.

▼ Research suggests that the deployment cycle is associated with decreased
psychological well-
being in military spouses, yet not all individuals married to military service members experience psychopathology. It may be that spouses who do not experience reduced
well-
being possess personal resources, such as
positive emotions, that protect them against the stresses of military life. The primary purpose of this dissertation was to determine the effect of deployment on the
well-
being of military spouses and examine whether personal resources protected military spouses and enhanced their wellbeing throughout the deployment cycle. A synthesis of the existing literature was performed in order to determine the direction and magnitude of the effect of deployment on the
psychological well-
being of military spouses. For the primary analyses, participants were drawn from a convenience sample of military spouses stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. Meta-analysis, hierarchical linear regression, and structural equation modeling were used to test study hypotheses. In the first study, a meta-analytic review, deployment was found to have a moderate effect on
psychological well-
being, such that spouses experienced greater
psychological problems during deployment. Two studies were conducted as part of the primary analyses. In the first, positivity was found to moderate the relationship between stress and depressive symptoms during deployment. Specifically, the relationship between stress and depressive symptoms was stronger for spouses with low levels of positivity. Finally, the third study found that adaptive coping, maladaptive coping, and resilience completely mediated the relationship between
positive emotions and depressive symptoms. Of the three mediators, adaptive coping was found to be the most influential. Together, the results of these three studies illuminate the detrimental effect of deployment on the
psychological well-
being of military spouses, while providing support for the broaden-and-build theory's proposed roles of
positive emotions – broadening, building, and undoing – in a unique population. Study limitations, implications for military spouses, and suggestions for future directions in research are discussed.

▼ A presente investigação tem como temática central o estudo do Bem-Estar Subjectivo (BES) em adolescentes brasileiros. O BES tem despertado interesse cada vez maior da comunidade científica, no entanto só recentemente foram iniciados os estudos entre os adolescentes, se fazendo necessária a produção de mais conhecimento dentro desta faixa etária. Desta forma, o objectivo deste estudo visa compreender a influência do Suporte Social, da Autoestima, do Capital Psicológico Positivo no Bem-Estar Subjectivo de adolescentes brasileiros. Para explorar esta relação, participaram da investigação 310 adolescentes, com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e 19 anos, dos quais 55,5% são do sexo feminino. Os dados foram coletados através de um questionário de auto-relato. Os resultados encontrados permitiram-nos concluir que os participantes do sexo masculino apresentaram maiores índices de BES. Também se foi constatado que a idade apresentou uma correlação positiva com o BES, porém sem existir diferenças de BES entre os grupos de adolescentes mais jovens e os mais velhos. Além disso, a investigação permitiu-nos concluir que o Suporte Social, a Autoestima e o Capital Psicológico Positivo estão positivamente relacionados com o BES, porém somente as duas primeiras variáveis o predizem, visto que o Capital Psicológico Positivo não apresentou resultado significativo. Apesar disso, esta investigação vem inovar no sentido em que estuda o Capital Psicológico Positivo de adolescentes relacionando-o com o BES, apontando novas diretrizes e abrindo caminhos para que novas investigações sejam realizadas neste sentido.
This research has as central theme the study of Subjective Well-Being (SWB) in Brazilian adolescents. SWB has attracted increasing interest from the scientific community, however only recently the studies started among adolescents, making it necessary to produce more knowledge within this age group. Thus, the objective of this study is to understand the influence of Social Support, the Self-esteem, Positive Psychological Capital on Subjective Well-Being of Brazilian adolescents. To explore that relationship, 310 adolescents were participants in the investigation, with age between 10 and 19 years, of whom 55.5% were females. Data were collected through a self-report questionnaire. The results allowed us to conclude that male participants had higher SWB. Also, we noted that age was significantly correlated with the SWB, but no differences were found between the SWB groups younger teens and older. Furthermore, this research has allowed us to conclude that the Social Support, to Self-Esteem, and Positive Psychological Capital are positively related to SWB, but only the first two variables predict the SWB, since the Positive Psychological Capital showed no significant result. However, this research has been to innovate in order to study the moment of Positive Psychological Capital teenagers relating it to the BES, pointing out new directions and opening new path for investigations to be carried out in this direction.

▼ Prior research on social network sites is focus on using motivation or intention of use. Seldom of them use habit to discuss excessive internet use and their impact of
well-
being. By focus on Facebook, this study investigates the relationship between habit and addiction, and following we will examine the relationship between addiction and
well-
being. Base on prior research we found out three major habitâs antecedents, which come from perceived value, utilitarian value, hedonic value and Social value. In addition, the number of users and the time of use in Facebook are both the highest website in Taiwan. We decided to examine how this phenomenon will affect userâs mind, so we expanded our model to addiction,
subjective well-
being and
psychological well-
being. Data collected from 318 users of the Facebook provide strong support for the research model. The results suggested that habit was driven by perceived value, and habit are important to addiction formation. The data also indicate that a higher level of habit increase the effect of habit on addiction. Also, the relationship between addiction and
well-
being are both confirmed. Practical implications for theory and practice and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

▼ Eudaimonic psychological well-being (PWB) refers to a lifelong process of purposeful engagement in goal-driven tasks or activities resulting in positive psychological functioning. These activities reflect autonomy, purpose in life, self-acceptance, personal growth, positive relations with others, and environmental mastery. While more women are surviving breast cancer, they face a multitude of late and long term physiopsychosocial challenges that result from being diagnosed and treated. Protective health effects associated with the experience of PWB can potentially mitigate ill-being and benefit overall health of breast cancer survivors (BCS). Adequate preparation by healthcare teams to transition them from primary treatment to early survivorship is critical for the immediate and long term PWB of BCS.
The purpose of this dissertation was to: 1) summarize current literature addressing PWB among BCS; 2) describe the helpfulness of information BCS satisfied and dissatisfied receive from their healthcare team to prepare to transition into life immediately after treatment; and 3) examine relationships between PWB and factors that negatively influence BCS’ ability to successfully transition to early survivorship
Three manuscripts describe results of data analysis. From a literature review, factors that correlate with PWB among BCS were identified: coping, social support, self-esteem, post-traumatic growth, religious struggles and the impact of physical symptoms. Based on qualitative responses, BCS who are satisfied and dissatisfied with information received to prepare for transition into early survivorship emphasized the importance of receiving comprehensive information on: (1) what to expect physically and emotionally post-treatment, and (2) how their lives moving forward will be unlike their lives prior to being diagnosed. Among a convenience sample of 56 BCS, significant negative relationships between PWB and a) cancer problems frequently experienced by early survivors of breast cancer, b) psychological distress, and c) satisfaction with information received to transition from primary treatment into early survivorship was noted from a prospective, cross-sectional research design study. PWB is becoming increasingly important given that BCS live longer. Information learned from this dissertation can be used by healthcare teams to promote or maintain positive psychological functioning among these survivors, focusing initially on preparing them for life immediately after treatment.

Given the rising cost of mental illness, there is a clear need for evidence-based models of wellbeing to guide therapy and community interventions. Franklin (2006, 2009) has proposed a developmental model of success and happiness that incorporates four higher order domains; Goal motivated adaptive learning skills, Personal, People and Work-life skills. The first major aim of this research was to test Franklin's model. It was beyond the scope of this study to test all possible constructs proposed at each level. Therefore, the selection of constructs to test was guided by positive psychology research, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and empirical evidence demonstrating that the skills underlying the construct could be developed. Constructs conceptualised to belong to the Goal motivated adaptive learning domain included hope, psychological flexibility, curiosity and mindfulness. Those within the Personal skills level included self esteem, self compassion and self control. Finally, constructs tested at the People skills level included interpersonal competence, empathic concern and perspective taking. – To determine the applicability of the selected constructs for the model in predicting psychological wellbeing and distress, correlational analyses revealed that, with some exceptions, most constructs were positively associated with psychological wellbeing and negatively associated with psychological distress. Further confirmation of their applicability was gained from testing their discriminant validity. – Franklin's model was tested via structural equation modelling, comparing the model's predicted variance-covariance structure to that observed in the sample, i.e. testing how well the model fits the observed data. The results suggest that while the model broadly reproduced both measurement and structural elements of the data, it failed in significant detail with no model fit metric being satisfactory without modification of model detail. – Hierarchical multiple regression of each outcome supported the hypothesized incremental validity of the levels of Franklin's model from lower to higher order skills with each higher level explaining statistically significant additional variance above lower levels. As would be predicted by the model, goal motivated adaptive learning explained the most variance in all outcomes. However, while these findings broadly support the structure of Franklin's model, it was also found that if the hierarchy was completely ignored through backwards stepwise regression the statistically significant predictive variables were generally unchanged. This argues against the importance of the level hierarchy of the model. – Regression modelling supported the primacy of goal motivated adaptive learning and to a lesser degree personal skills as being important to all psychological wellbeing and distress outcomes. The evidence in support of the…

▼ Prenatal
well-
being can have significant effects on the mother and developing foetus.
Positive psychological interventions, including gratitude and mindfulness, consistently demonstrate benefits for
well-
being in diverse populations. No research has been conducted on gratitude during pregnancy; the few studies of prenatal mindfulness
interventions have demonstrated
well-
being benefits. The current study examined the effects of gratitude and mindfulness
interventions on prenatal maternal
well-
being, cortisol and birth outcomes. Five studies were conducted. Study 1 was a systematic review of mindfulness intervention effects on cortisol; this highlighted potential benefits of mindfulness but the need for rigorous protocols in future research. In Study 2 a gratitude and a mindfulness intervention were developed and evaluated; findings indicate usefulness of two 3 week
interventions. Study 3 examined the effects of these
interventions in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of non-pregnant women, before examining a pregnant group. No significant intervention effects were found in this study, potentially due to insufficient power and poor protocol adherence. Changes in expected directions were observed for most outcomes and the potential utility of a combined gratitude and mindfulness intervention was noted. In Study 4 a gratitude during pregnancy (GDP) scale was developed and the reliability of an existing mindfulness measure (MAAS) was examined in a pregnant group. Both scales were found to be suitable and reliable measures in pregnancy. Study 5 incorporated the findings of the previous four studies to examine of the effect of a combined mindfulness and gratitude intervention with a group of pregnant women. Forty-six participants took part in a 5-week RCT that examined intervention effects on prenatal gratitude, mindfulness,
happiness, satisfaction with life, social support, prenatal stress, depression and sleep. Findings indicated that the intervention improved sleep quality and that effects for prenatal distress were approaching significance. Issues of attrition and non-compliance to study protocols were problematic and are discussed. In summary, the current thesis highlights the need for robust measurement, and intervention and cortisol sampling protocols in future research, particularly with pregnant groups. Findings also demonstrate tentative benefits of a gratitude and mindfulness intervention during pregnancy.

▼ Teaching is considered to be one of the most highly demanding professions, and one that is associated with high levels of stress and sometimes deleterious outcomes. Although research demonstrates that burnout and attrition are often associated with specific characteristics of the occupation (e.g., challenging workload, standardized testing, merit-based salary) minimal research focuses on how to better support teachers’ well-being. The field of positive psychology affords a new perspective in how to obtain quality mental health without solely focusing on psychopathology within a deficits-based approach. This includes the implementation of interventions (i.e., positive psychology interventions [PPI]) that target constructs of well-being (e.g., character strengths, hope, optimism, gratitude, etc.) and are associated with positive changes in authentic happiness. This study examined how a strength-based, PPI entitled Utilizing Signature Strengths in a New Way (Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, 2005) impacts dimensions of teacher well-being, as well as other relevant outcomes (i.e., flourishing, burnout) within the school context. Previous research has shown that strengths-based intervention to be the PPI with the most substantial impact and the longest lasting outcomes (Seligman et al., 2005). Utilizing a concurrent multiple baseline single-case design with eight teachers, the study evaluated the effects of the strengths-based PPI on teacher’s overall happiness (i.e., subjective well-being) as indicated by self-report measures of life satisfaction and positive and negative affect. The teachers exhibited significant gains in life satisfaction and reductions in negative affect from pre- to post-intervention that were also evident one month following the intervention. Although positive affect did not significantly change from pre- to post-intervention, a significant gain was apparent at one-month follow-up. Single-case analytic strategies (i.e., visual analysis, masked visual analysis, and hierarchical linear modeling) found that the intervention positively impacted teachers’ overall subjective well-being (composite of standardized life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect scores). Results for single indicators of subjective well-being found variability in basic effects among different individuals (i.e., some teachers benefited more than others) further supporting the theory of person-activity fit. Regarding the intervention’s effects on secondary outcomes that were examined only at pre, post, and one-month follow-up time points, findings indicated the teachers experienced a significant increase in work satisfaction immediately following the intervention, as well as a significant increase in feelings of flourishing at follow-up. Significant decreases in negative dimensions of teachers’ mental health including stress and burnout (i.e., emotional exhaustion) were also demonstrated. Findings from the current study provide initial support for the efficacy of a teacher-focused, strengths-based intervention and its…
