Event
Abstract
Proverbs 23:7. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
Positive psychology, along with related fields such as Psychological Capital, Happiness, and Emotional Intelligence hold great promise for improving lives. This presentation seeks to break some new ground and encourage Christian scholars and students to engage in more research and scholarship in this area and to assimilate more of this integrated perspective into our classrooms. It will also present some preliminary empirical data gathered among ONU students and will end with a brief discussion session.
