Middle School Transition from the Strengths Perspective: Young Adolescents’ Character Strengths, Subjective Well-Being, and School Adjustment (2013, background): “In a study of middle school students, Park and Peterson (2006a, 2008) found that love, hope, and zest at the beginning of the school year predicted higher life satisfaction at the end of the school year.”
From strengths use to work performance: The role of harmonious passion, subjective vitality, and concentration (2014, unknown): “…et al., 2011; Ruch, Huber, Beermann, & Proyer, 2007; Rust, Diessner, & Reade, 2009), academic and personal achievement (Elston & Boniwell, 2011; Linley, Nielsen, Wood, Gillett, & Biswas-Diener, 2010; Park & Peterson, 2008), and mindfulness (Niemiec, 2012; Niemiec, Rashid, & Spinella, 2012).”
A Review of School-Based Positive Psychology Interventions (2011, background): “In middle-school students, Park and Peterson (2008) found that the character strengths of persistence, honesty, prudence and love were negatively correlated with aggression, anxiety and depression.”
Promoting positive outcomes through strengths interventions: A literature review (2017, methodology): “The importance of strengths interventions as a tool for enhancing social recognition was already noted by Park and Peterson (2008) who stated that the value of the VIA project may be in providing a vocabulary that makes strengths worthy of moral praise.”
Character Strengths: Research and Practice (2009, background): “…those that connect people together, are more strongly associated with well-being than are strengths of the “head” that are necessarily individual in nature—e.g., creativity, critical thinking, and appreciation of beauty and excellence (Park & Peterson, 2008; Park, Peterson, & Seligman, 2004).”
An applied framework for Positive Education (2013, background): “Research also supports the relevance of strengths to children’s wellbeing and healthy development (Park & Peterson, 2008; Rashid et al., 2013).”
Character strengths predict subjective well-being during adolescence (2011, background): “Cross-sectional research on the VIA strengths indicates that strengths of the heart, which connect people to each other, are more closely connected to well-being than are strengths of the head, which are more individual in focus (Park & Peterson, 2006, 2008).”
