Positive Psychology is one of the most influential scientific studies of human mind and behaviors. Unlike traditional psychology that focuses more on the negative aspects of life such as healing traumas, Positive Psychology emphasizes the importance of building positive emotions and experiences to boost human strengths and lead human beings to thrive. The rising popularity of Positive Psychology has resulted in a dramatic upsurge of scientific studies and books that point to specific ways of enriching our physical and psychological well-being. Positive Psychology researchers have discovered that positive thinking can boost our enjoyment and productivity when we are working on a task. For example, a study by a Harvard scientist, Dr. Ellen Langer, focused on how human beings’ curiosity can transform the feeling of boredom. In her study, she divided the participants into two groups, and both needed to work on a mundane household activity they loathed, such as doing dishes and dusting the house. More specifically, the experimental group received an instruction teaching them to pay attention to new things when they were doing the activity. When the participants in this group were dusting their houses, they might pay attention to the weight of a feather duster, the colors of the feathers, and the polished surface of a table. Findings of this study eventually showed that the experimental group enjoyed the activity more than the control group that did not receive the instruction. Even after the experiment concluded, the experimental group was also more likely to do the disliked activity. To sum up, curiosity can help human beings find more pleasure from boring and mundane tasks, which lends strong support to Positive Psychology. Positive Psychology has also been incorporated into school education to reinforce students’ sense of happiness and boost their potentials. Positive education, for example, aims to enhance students’ positive emotions and personal resilience. When applying techniques from Positive Psychology in their classes, teachers would give specific feedback to praise students’ performances such as “Your pronunciation has improved a lot!” rather than a vague compliment like “Well done!” As for students, they learn to use positive thinking to build positive emotions and strengthen their interpersonal relationships, which is key to building a successful life. It is also believed that students can become more creative and effective learners if they can obtain more positive learning experiences.
