Social Interest and Positive Psychology: Positively Aligned

Abstract

To investigate the influence of Individual Psychology on positive nnodels of mental health, the researchers examined the relationship betvvieen Individual Psychology and positive psychology by predicting that social interest would be correlated with the constructs of hope and optimism. Participants included 43 students from a graduate program in counseling. Social interest was significantly correlated with hope and optimism, and optimism was more significant than hope as a predictor of social interest. These results support the contention that social interest and positive psychology are positively correlated. Recommendations for further research are discussed.
