| Description | How wide and varied is the range of positive emotions? How can positive emotions be scientifically investigated? What do we already know about their importance and concrete benefits for our mental and physical health? What methods can be used to purposefully strengthen and cultivate positive experiences? And why is it important not to neglect negative emotions? The answers to these and many other questions were heard during the lecture, which briefly introduced the audience to the foundations of the evidence-based theory of positive emotions and offered an overview of interesting research findings on the beneficial connections and consequences of positive emotional experiences for our mental and physical health. Effective practical interventions to support positive experiences, which are successfully used in psychological practice with different groups of clients and patients, were also presented. |
