Positive Feelings at School: On the Relationships Between Students’ Character Strengths, School-Related Affect, and School Functioning (2016, methodology): “According to “engine model of well-being”, higher levels of positive affect and lower levels of negative affect will lead to higher degrees of such intrinsically valuable behaviors (cf. Jayawickreme et al. 2012) in the schooling context.”
Post–traumatic Growth as Positive Personality Change: Evidence, Controversies and Future Directions (2014, background): “The point here is that researchers need to be clear in defining post-traumatic growth and then measure that conceptualization in the most methodologically rigorous manner possible (see Jayawickreme et al., 2012, for a similar discussion on the myriad definitions of well-being).”
Measuring Well-Being (2016, background): “Another approach to clarifying the important components of well-being is to test the process models of well-being that have been proposed by researchers such as Lent (2004) and Jayawickreme et al. (2012).”
Using wellbeing for public policy: Theory, measurement, and recommendations (2016, background): “Notably, each of these models and indexes suggests that wellbeing consists of profiles across multiple domains, rather than a single summary metric (Forgeard, Jayawickreme, Kern, & Seligman, 2011; Jayawickreme et al., 2012).”
Doing the right thing: Measuring wellbeing for public policy (2011, background): “This non-exhaustive summary highlights the constructs that have received the most attention in the literature and therefore does not include all possible aspects of wellbeing that researchers have considered (see Gasper, 2010; and Jayawickreme & Seligman, 2010 for more comprehensive reviews).”
A psycho-social system approach to well-being: Empirically deriving the Five Domains of Positive Functioning (2015, background): “In this way, it may help to bring clarity to the current vagueness of PP constructs highlighted by Jayawickreme et al. (2012). Measuring psycho-social functioning within each domain will provide clearer insight into how different moment-by-moment psychological and social processes, states and events”
The wellbeing of language teachers in the private sector: An ecological perspective (2020, background): “Rather, it is likely to emerge from an integration of both dimensions with experiences of positive affect in the moment as well as a sense of doing well in life more broadly over time (e.g. Compton et al., 1996; Jayawickreme et al., 2012).”
Workplace happiness, well-being and their relationship with psychological capital: A study of Hungarian Teachers (2019, background): “Happiness is one of the most studied facets of wellbeing, but is only one of the various aspects that researchers have considered (Jayawickreme et al. 2012).”
Trauma-Informed Positive Education: Using Positive Psychology to Strengthen Vulnerable Students (2016, background): “The five domains of PERMA represent both subjective and psychological well-being domains (Jayawickreme et al. 2012).”
The Nested Model of Well-Being: A Unified Approach (2014, background): “Jayawickreme, Forgeard, and Seligman (2012) recently attempted to tackle many of these issues, and did so by first emphasizing the need for greater theoretical and conceptual specificity regarding the construct.”
