Study Notes

Positive Psychology Interventions and Resilience

Positive psychology interventions (PPIs) are supported by evidence and applicable in interventions and therapy
Similar approaches to PPIs include positive psychotherapy, hope therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness
Training for PPIs includes self-compassion, self-control, empathy, positive youth development, and resilience training
Accomplishing goals involves personality traits such as conscientiousness, grit, self-esteem, self-control, and growth mindset
Goal pursuit is influenced by the Self-Determination Theory and Goal Setting Theory
Implementation intentions and habits play a role in goal pursuit and behavior change
Commitment devices like public commitments and temptation bundling are effective in behavior change
Resilience is viewed as a process rather than an individual difference and requires challenges for measurement
Protective factors for resilience include positive emotionality, emotional stability, optimism, sense of control, intelligence, high SES, religion, and social support
Trauma is generally considered bad, but some individuals report benefits and growth through post-traumatic growth
Perceived growth post-trauma may not align with actual changes and can be linked to increased distress
Well-being tends to be stable over time, and resilience involves maintaining mental health through challenges
