Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Positive psychology has evolved significantly over the years, with a focus on understanding and enhancing human well-being and flourishing. In this special issue, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the field's key constructs and illuminate promising future directions. Through a multifaceted exploration of constructs like happiness, resilience, positive relationships, strengths and virtues, flow, mindfulness, gratitude, positive interventions, optimism, and self-compassion, we seek to shed light on the heart of what makes life fulfilling and meaningful. Our contributors bring fresh evidence about these constructs and examine the practical applications, research developments, and emerging areas that continue to shape the positive psychology landscape. This special issue serves as a roadmap for researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the power of positivity to improve individual well-being and enrich the collective human experience. Join us in this intellectual journey as we navigate through contemporary positive psychology perspectives and peer into the underexplored territories of this inspiring field. Together, we aim to foster positive growth and well-being in individuals and societies.
