PS 431 Seminar in Positive Psychology (Fall/Spring: 3)
Prerequisite:
PS 121 and either PS 241 or PS 242
This advanced undergraduate seminar reflects a new direction in psychology
that focuses on topics that emphasize people's positive characteristics
and processes. Characteristics that will be studied include happiness, kindness,
generosity, love, and gratitude. Growth, healing, relatedness, and curiosity
are among the processes that will be examined. The course will also address
the antecedents and consequences of positive social situations such as peace,
solidarity, and massive public responses to catastrophes like 9/11.
