PSYCH 540 Week 3 DQ 1 Martin Seligman founded in the late 1990s a new branch within Counseling Psychology called Positive Psychology. One of the criticisms of this new branch within the psychological community was that while it was strong on theory, there were no interventions associated with it for use in therapy. The article Im linking for you here was the first to report on research in this area in Positive Psychology. Positive Psychology has become the most exciting new area of psychology: there are books coming out every month it seems and newspaper and magazine articles about happiness every week. And theyre all based (or claim to be based) on the research being done by Seligman and others. So, I invite you to read the article and comment on it: what do you think of the quality of the research conducted by the authors? Do you agree that their methodology was valid? What do you think of internet based studies? Use my link below or go to the library and use my reference list below to access the article. Or here is the address for the article without going to the library; you can cut and paste it to a tab on your browser: bit.ly/1t8aLwM
