Positive Psychology is built on three basic strands of research:
1. Positive experience/Positive emotions
2. Positive character traits or strengths
3. Positive social contexts that enable the first two strands to manifest

The goal of positive psychology has been to develop a “Science of Human Strengths” by empirically studying the attitudes and actions that lead to well-being and human thriving.  In effect, positive psychology studies what is right with people. This course will introduce the basic concepts for a positive psychology, and encourage the application of its proven methodologies.  Participants will be able to apply the principles and practices of positive psychology to their lives, including with their students and colleagues.
