Character Strengths

It is often simplified as "gravel" or "self restraint", but its role is not mere personal achievement or personal action. This is a broad and complex series of thoughts, emotions, and actions that families recognize and encourage values ​​cultivated in people of various cultures and society. Personality is our total, it is "the heart of each of us."

Dr. Chris Peterson took a three-year vacation to better understand the character and its symptoms. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Martin Seligman write about a 800 page book on this research "People's Advantage and Virtue". This book explains:

The personality traits of 24 are reflected in the most influential tradition of thinking in human history

These personality advantages from courage and forgiveness to honesty and gratitude are the foundation of enthusiastic project model.

Let's realize that each child, each and everyone has the advantage of having 24 personality, let's lay the foundation of true confidence. More importantly, it helps children better understand why they are different and how they understand these differences. Unlike height, weight and color of skin, our personality is invisible to the naked eye. Therefore, especially understanding and evaluating it requires a framework for consistent consideration and discussion.

Positive psychology is a rigorous discipline including personality strength, positive relationship, positive experience, and positive institution. This is about the most valuable life in life - and insists that life is as true as bad.

Positive psychology focuses on the right thing in life, but it does not ignore what is wrong. As a doctor. Peterson and Seligman wrote "Characteristics and Virtue" in the book: "People tend to view positive psychology as unstressed people, but this is a mistake ... regarding factors , Negative factors can not be ignored The conditions of adversity, whether external or internal, must be part of the problem to be solved in discussing character benefits Hmm."

It shows that certain personality advantages are related to the meaning of meaning in life. This means that the strength of the character is interdependent and the balance of power may be a better predictor than a single strength. In current research projects, we will look at a summary of personality strengths, not pair or single benefits, regardless of whether they are related to ideal organizational outcomes. We survey 24 characteristics of adults employed, and the combination of character strengths is used for job performance (work, citizenship and adverse effect) and welfare (general and work related subjective and mental health) Perform a potential profile analysis to determine if you can explain the difference). Our findings provide information to the organization's decision makers in designing workplace health plans by identifying which feature's benefits are associated with better job performance and happiness.

This is the first part of a series of articles on personality. Why is a personality important, and how do you help to boost the character's superiority of a child? This article defines the benefits of roles and provides a framework for understanding them. As an adult shaping a character for children every day, it will help to record the benefits of our own individuality first! Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman are trying to define these inner virtues and benefits in the acclaimed academic paper "People's Strengths and Virtue: Handbooks and Classifications." Researchers also developed a method to measure the strength of characters. You can read the detailed definition of all these advantages of the nonprofit organization VIA Institute on Character, but in brief, it falls into the following six categories.

If you have read the blog about character's strengths, you will understand the various examples of the VIA character's strengths and the complexity of the character. These positive character traits differ from other types of authority, such as our interests (what you want to do) and resources (your external support). The advantage of the role is considered "who are you", in other words they form part of your core identity. The superiority of a character is thought, emotion, action ability or positive characteristic. They reflect what you do best and you can regard it as part of your positive identity. The best example of this power is the 24 advantages (eg fairness, hope, kindness, leadership) of the broad VIA classification that has universal value and can benefit you and others.
