Integrating positive psychology into schools: Implications for practice

Abstract: Traditional approaches for working with children and families in the schools focus on problems and disturbance. The concept of positive psychology as a way to change this focus is offered through exploration of its integration within school psychology.

Examples of this application are provided within common roles of the school psychologist (consultation, direct work, educational assessment… Show more

“…Several researches have provided evidence, for example, of how positive emotions are related to physical and mental health (Schöllgen, Huxhold, Schmiedek, 2012;Worthington & Scherer, 2004); discovered some physiological correlates of flow (Mansfield, Oddson, Turcotte, & Couture, 2012); found out what are the long-term predictors of life-satisfaction in different cultural contexts (Daukantaitè & Zukauskiene, 2012;Meulemann, 2001), etc. In other areas, such as education, the efforts of "positive" psychologists have provided some comprehension of how psychologists and educators can act in the basis of preventive practices within the school setting (e.g., Terjesen, Jacofsky, Froh, & DiGiuseppe, 2004); what are and to what extent some positive psychological characteristics are related to academic achievement (e.g., Marques, PaisRibeiro, & Lopez, 2011), etc. Not differently from any other area, much of this acquired knowledge arose from longitudinal studies. Longitudinal studies provide one of the strongest methodologies for studying developmental changes on the cognitive, emotional and behavioral characteristics of the human being (Wolke et al, 2009).…”

“…Al respecto, Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi (2000) sostienen que promover competencias en los niños es más que arreglar lo que esta mal en ellos; es identificar y fortalecer sus cualidades predominantes, y ayudarles a encontrar los espacios en los que puedan expresarlas. Promover las fortalezas de los niños y jóvenes puede incrementar cambios que favorecen el manejo exitoso de las dificultades actuales y las que deberán afrontar en el futuro (Terjesen, Jacofsky, Froh & DiGiuseppe, 2004).…”

“…Esto se debe a que, durante las transiciones de desarrollo, los niños son particularmente sensibles a los cambios, como puede ser la entrada a una nueva escuela o el comienzo de la pubertad (Luthar & Cicchetti, 2000). Durante estas etapas de transición, el niño se somete a una importante reorganización e integración de las capacidades de adaptación, de forma que, es probable que sea más eficaz si las intervenciones se inician en la niñez y se mantienen durante la adolescencia, de esta forma se proveerá al niño de una base sólida que le permitirá afrontar los retos más importantes de estas etapas (Lampropoulos, 2001;Terjesen et al, 2004).…”
