• Development and initial validation of an implicit measure of humility relative to arrogance (2006, background): “Implicit humility did not correlate with satisfaction or dissatisfaction with life (cf. Park, Peterson, & Seligman, 2004 ).”
• Forgiveness, Gratitude and Subjective Well-Being Among Filipino Adolescents (2014, background): “The emergence of Positive Psychology has advocated the promotion of empirical work that endorses human strengths (Park et al. 2004).”
• So Far So Good: An Overview of Positive Psychology and Its Contributions to SLA (2016, background): “Perhaps this is the type of example that Peterson (2006) was suggesting as his concern for PosPsy: the popular press account of the research got ahead of the science, and Brown et al.”
• Gratitude uniquely predicts satisfaction with life: Incremental validity above the domains and facets of the five factor model (2008, background): “This paper is part of a growing research area which shows that gratitude is integral to SWL (e.g., Emmons & McCullough, 2003; McCullough et al., 2002, 2004; Park et al., 2004; Wood et al., 2007a).”
• Gratitude predicts psychological well-being above the Big Five facets (2009, background): “This research has suggested that gratitude is as strongly correlated with well-being as are other positive traits (Park et al., 2004), and has suggested that this relationship is causal (Emmons & McCullough, 2003; Wood, Maltby, Gillett, Linley, & Joseph, 2008).”
• Harmonious passion as an explanation of the relation between signature strengths’ use and well-being at work: Test of an intervention program (2012, background): “First, this study adds to the growing evidence suggesting that using signature strengths leads to optimal functioning (Berman, 2008; Govindji and Linley, 2007; Park et al., 2004) and well-being (Seligman et al., 2005).”
• Curiosity and pathways to well-being and meaning in life: Traits, states, and everyday behaviors (2007, background): “Previous work shows that people scoring higher on trait curiosity scales report greater well-being (e.g., Naylor 1981; Park et al. 2004; Vittersø 2003; Wanberg and Kammeyer-Mueller 2000).”
