摘要
Seligman先生开创了习得无助和习得乐观的研究领域。20世纪末他树立起积极心理学的大旗,将心理学引向探索和促进人类性格力量发展和美德完善的轨道,反转了20世纪中后期心理学过分关注人性的消极面和弱点的研究取向,界定了积极心理学三个明确的研究领域:积极的情感、积极的特征和积极的社会制度。他提出幸福的三要素原则,并运用幸福理论治愈抑郁和提升人们的幸福感。近年来他致力于研究人类的美德和优势,并提出运用美德和优势治疗心理疾病的积极心理治疗理论(PPT)。
Mr. Seligman was the first psychologist who researched into learned helplessness and learned optimism. In the middle of the 20th century, he led the research of Positive Psychology, which shifted psychology＇s focus from human frailty and weakness to the strength of the human character and the improvement of virtue. Mr. Seligrnan defined the three distinct studies of positive emotion, positive character, and positive institutions. He put forward the concept of three factors of happiness and employed the theory of happiness to cure depression and strengthen human sense of happiness. Recently he has concentrated on human virtue and strength research, and according to his PPT theory, human virtues and advantages can be helpful psychotherapeutics for mental illness.
