Research Contemp-2

2.2 Discussion. Gratitude

Getting Started

There are a variety of methods to assess and evaluate one’s character. The Values in Action (VIA) character strengths, developed by Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman, can help identify character strengths you have that predict well-being. PERMA, a theory developed by Martin Seligman, identifies five elements of well-being: positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. According to research, these five elements all correlate to each other, as well as the VIA character strengths. However, only gratitude and love of learning were positive predictors of well-being.

Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

· Evaluate theories and research related to gratitude and their implication to positive psychology and life coaching.
