PY 35500 - Positive Psychology
(4) Although the discipline of Positive Psychology was inaugurated as recently as 1998, the study of psychological factors that make life “worth living” is already flourishing. This course explores human strengths-our own and others’. Human strengths are the qualities and processes that promote life satisfaction and well-being while preventing dissatisfaction and mental illness. Specifically, this course covers the role that strengths play in a variety of areas, including personality, aging, gender differences, intimate relationships, creativity, and decision-making, and then relating personal well-being to global and societal issues. It also includes constructive criticism and future directions for this emerging discipline. Advanced Theory elective for PY Major Studies. Prerequisite: or instructor permission. Offered as needed.
