The document discusses the development and research of positive psychology. It notes that positive psychology formally began in 1998 with Martin Seligman's presidential address, but that research on positive aspects of life predates World War II. Since then, the field has grown rapidly with numerous conferences and the founding of the Journal of Positive Psychology and the International Positive Psychology Association. The document also summarizes several influential findings from positive psychology research over the last decade relating to optimism, happiness, emotions, life satisfaction, relationships, and money.

Comparative Personality Sketch of Middle Aged Male and Female Counterparts Hi...inventionjournals
The aim of the present study is to make a comparative personality profile in the light of anger expression, narcissism and happiness among middle aged males and females. A sample of 100 middle aged individuals (50 males and 50 females) was selected. The variables selected for the study were anger expression, narcissism and happiness. Results indicate that happiness and narcissism both are positively correlated and basically self-love is found to be a basic source of happiness for both subsamples. Moreover, significant differences were found in case of anger expression and overall narcissism. Male counterparts were positioned at the top point of narcissism and anger expression and lack anger control but females have more anger out, anger reaction, superiority and vanity than male ones which pinpoints the fact that females tend to invest a great deal of energy in maintaining and preventing the experience and expression of anger. While controlling anger is certainly desirable, the over-control of anger may result in passivity, withdrawal and depression.
With health now viewed in a more holistic way, happiness has been getting folded into the idea of “health and wellness.”
This report examines the rising notion that a happier person is a healthier person—and, in turn, a healthier person is a happier person. The report looks at what’s driving awareness around the health-happiness connection, how this development is playing out in culture and how marketers can leverage it.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Positive psychology has progressed substantially in its short 12
year history.
These researchers have conceptualised the new and emerging
field of positive psychology in various ways:
Positive psychology is the scientific study of what enables
individuals and communities to thrive.
3. We believe that a psychology of positive human functioning
will arise that achieves a scientific understanding and effective
interventions to build thriving in individuals, families, and
communities.
Positive psychology is the study of the conditions and
processes that contribute to the flourishing or optimal functioning
of people, groups, and institutions.
Even with such broad conceptualizations as these, positive
psychology complements, rather than replaces, traditional
psychology. In doing so, the field’s focus has been on constructs
such as strengths, savouring, happiness, meaning, flow, hope, and
mindfulness.
5. Martin Seligman’s 1998 American Psychological Association
presidential address is seen by many as positive psychology’s
inception date (Peterson, 2006; Wood & Tattier, 2010).
However, psychological research into the positive aspects of life
pre-dates World War II (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000).
Historically psychology itself was conceived of as a discipline that
both cured mental illness, but also promoted excellence in individuals
and focused on establishing positive communities.
The term positive psychology originates from Maslow 1954 book
Motivation and Personality. Other humanists such as Carl Rogers
and Erich Fromm have also been influential in the development of
theories related to human happiness.
6. Positive psychology has grown at a staggering rate since
Seligman’s presidential address.
The first positive psychology summit took place in 1999, the first
international conference in 2002, and since then a range of
international and broader conferences.
In the past few months the 6th European Conference on Positive
Psychology was held in Denmark, and two positive psychology
conferences have been held in Beijing.
Last year the First World Congress on Positive Psychology took
place in Philadelphia with over 4000 participants, including the top
positive psychology scholars.
7. Thereafter, Professor N.K. Chadha & Prof. Nathawat decided to
originate IAPP, first time in INDIA & three consecutive conferencs
were held at Varanasi, Mumbai, & present one at this prestigious
institute at Faridabad, Harayana.
Other psychologist included Prof. Jitendra Mohan, Dr. Kamlesh
Singh & Dr. Sunil Saini at Chandigarh, IIT Delhi & Noida
respectively.
Few more attempts have been made here and there.
In India origin of positive psychology is mainly
due to efforts of Prof Nathawat, who initiated 3
consecutive conferences on Positivism in the year
2010, 2011& 2012 on same dates of 6th, 7th & 8th
August, at Amity University, Rajasthan, Jaipur.
8. In addition to conferences and meetings, the field launched its
signature journal, the Journal of Positive Psychology, in 2006, and
the International Positive Psychology Association was founded in
2007 and now has over 3000 members.
The publication of Character strengths and virtues: A handbook
and classification (Peterson & Seligman, 2004), also referred to as
the Un-DSM, is also seen as a milestone, representing the first
attempt on the part of the research community to identify and
classify the positive psychological traits of human beings.
10. There has been exponential growth over the last 10 years.
Contemporary researchers include the fields founders, such as
Martin Seligman, Ed Diener, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and
Christopher Peterson, but also many cutting edge researchers, such
as Carol Dweck, Todd Kashdan, Barbara Fredrickson, Sonja
Lyubomirsky, Kennon Sheldon, Jonathan Haidt, Charles Snyder,
Robert Biswas-Diener, Charles Carver and Robert Emmons to name
a few.
Each of these scientists has published influential and frequently
cited articles, both in positive psychology and in their own areas of
psychology.
11. This research in the last decade has highlighted some very
interesting findings, most of which have gained media attention. For
example:
Optimistic people are less likely to die of heart attacks than
pessimists, controlling for all known physical risk factors (Giltay,
Geleijnse, Zitman, Hoekstra, & Schouten, 2004).
Happiness is contagious as people surrounded by happy friends,
family members and neighbors who are central to their social
network become significantly happier in the future. For example, an
individual will become 25% happier if a friend who lives within a
mile becomes significantly happier with his or her life.
12. Women who displayed genuine (Duchenne) smiles to a
photographer at age eighteen went on to have fewer divorces and
more marital satisfaction than those who displayed fake smiles
(Keltner, Kring, & Bonanno, 1999).
Positive emotions build skills and resources. For example they
broaden awareness, improve creativity and inventiveness, increase
resilience, and encourage novel, varied, and exploratory thoughts
and actions (Fredrickson, 2003). This is in contrast to negative
emotions which prompt narrow and immediate survival-oriented
behaviors.
13. According to Set Point Theory, life Satisfaction is approximately
50% genetic, 10-15% external and circumstantial, and 35-40% due
to personal choices. For example, when externalities (e.g., weather,
money, health, marriage, religion) were totaled, they accounted for
no more than 15% of the variance in life satisfaction.
Largely due to Hedonic Adaption, lottery winners and paraplegic
accident victims were both equally satisfied with their lives a year
on. For example, winning the lottery creates a form of unwanted
cognitive dissonance as the money is viewed as not fully deserved –
although this effect dissipates over time.
14. Positive emotion reduces at least some racial biases. For
example, although people generally are better at recognizing faces
of their own race than faces of other races, putting people in a
joyful mood reduces this discrepancy by improving memory for
faces of people from other races.
15. The pursuit of meaning and engagement are more predictive of
life satisfaction than the pursuit of pleasure.
Economically flourishing corporate teams have a ratio of at
least 3:1 of positive statements to negative statements in business
meetings, whereas stagnating teams have a much lower ratio;
flourishing marriages, however, require a ratio of at least 5:1
Self-discipline is twice as good a predictor of high school
grades than intelligence quotient (IQ).
16. People tend to exaggerate the positive impact of events they think
will make them happy, as well as overestimate the negative effect
on happiness of tragic events. For example, individuals tend to
overestimate the extent and duration of the emotional impacts of
events such as a pay rise, the death of a loved one, or moving to a
warmer climate.
Money has a very small effect on happiness. According to the
Easterlin Paradox (named after the economist Richard Easterlin),
GDP has steadily increased over the past 50 years, however levels
of national wellbeing and happiness have remained almost the
same.
Happy teenagers go on to earn substantially more income fifteen
years later than less happy teenagers, controlling for income,
grades, and other obvious factors .
17. Once basic needs are met, money buys additional happiness
only if it can lead to higher status in society, or is spent on
experiences rather than possessions (Bok, 2010).
Relationships and marriage are robustly related to happiness
(Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2008). In addition, how you celebrate
good events that happen to your spouse is a better predictor of
future love and commitment than how you respond to bad events
(Gable, Reis, Impett, & Asher, 2004).
18. The field has come a long way since Seligman (2002) identified
three paths to happiness and increased wellbeing; the pleasant life,
the good life, and the meaningful life (his next book, Flourish: A
new understanding of life's greatest goals - and what it takes to
reach them, is due out early next year).
20. The field of positive psychology is set to play a larger role in
addressing peoples drive to lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
In order to do so, its research agenda and focus needs to be astute.
Currently, researchers are interested in defining and measuring
subjective wellbeing (or happiness), comparing hedonic and
eudaimonic dimensions of wellbeing, assessing cultural and national
accounts of wellbeing, and testing various positive interventions to
increase and sustain wellbeing.
However, other areas are also set to make an impact; for example,
the area of time perspective and wellbeing.
