PSYC 415 Positive Psychology

This course is an introduction to the field of Positive Psychology, which includes all scientific research on improving the human experience, from research on happiness (and subjective well-being) to research on strengths, resilience, and overall "flourishing." Students will learn the field-specific terminology, read and discuss original research articles, and learn to interpret the results of research and of failed replications. Students will also practice applying scientifically tested strategies in their own lives.
