Strengthening personal growth: The effects of a strengths intervention on personal growth initiative (2018, background): “In fact, two systematic reviews of empirical strengths intervention research conclude that there still is a lack of knowledge regarding the mediating mechanisms that explain the effectiveness of these interventions (Ghielen et al., 2018; Quinlan et al., 2012).”
The Role of Life Satisfaction in Predicting Student Engagement and Achievement (2015, background): “adolescents and youth, such as gratitude or character strength interventions (Duckworth et al. 2005; Linley et al. 2009; Quinlan et al. 2012).”
Effects of a Strengths Intervention on General and Work-Related Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Positive Affect (2017, methodology): “…existing studies have mainly focused on indicators of general but not work-related well-being as outcome variables, and have not yet explored the mechanisms through which strengths interventions influence well-being, leaving us with limited knowledge of how or why they work (Quinlan et al. 2012).”
How ‘other people matter’ in a classroom-based strengths intervention: Exploring interpersonal strategies and classroom outcomes (2015, background): “The effect sizes from this study were small for most outcome variables similar to other evaluations of strengths interventions within positive psychology (Quinlan et al., 2012).”
Promoting positive outcomes through strengths interventions: A literature review (2017, methodology): “With regard to activity features, Quinlan et al. (2012) already mentioned that longer duration of strengths interventions seemed to result in larger effect sizes.”
