PSY 382 Assignment 3 Living the Full-life Recent

Living the Full-life

What is living the full-life? Consider the three basic pillars of positive psychology—the pleasant life, the good life, and the meaningful life. Living the successful blend of these three pillars is considered living the full-life.

The aim of positive psychology is to scientifically study the successful blend of these pillars. Using the readings for this module, the University online library resources, and the Internet, research the three pillars of positive psychology.

Based on your research, respond to the following:

Explain the concept of each basic pillar. Follow your explanation with an activity to help experience each pillar. Discuss why it is important to experience these activities, according to the theoretical model of positive psychology. Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Self-Regulation and Control

According to positive psychology, the absence of good feelings or experiences can cause more negative emotions. Focusing on the positive and bringing in positive experiences may cultivate pleasure, engagement, and meaning. Individuals can learn to control and even increase the number of positive experiences as well as to regulate and diminish the number of negative experiences.

Using the module readings, University online library resources, and the Internet, identify and analyze two articles concerning empirical evidence supporting the use of positive psychology, especially in the area of self-regulation and control.

Based on your research and analysis of the articles, address the following:

Evaluate the effectiveness of five positive psychology techniques.
Examine empirically supported positive psychology interventions to promote well-being.
Make a minimum of five recommendations for self-regulation and control.
