Can you define happiness or the factors that make one happy? This course examines the concepts, research, and theories of happiness within the broad perspective of positive psychology. Positive psychology encompasses the study of positive experiences, positive character and positive relationships, and the practices that facilitate their development. Topics may include the history of positive psychology, the measurement, development and benefits of happiness, internal traits and external environments that influence happiness, and methods to increase happiness. Note: Students are advised against enrolling in this course and an advanced level Positive Psychology course (e.g., PSYC 4050) as there can be significant redundancy in the content of these courses.
