“…Seligman constructed the PERMA model, including five dimensions (positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment), which are conceptualized as essential to well-being [ 69 ]. Based on PERMA model, Goh et al examined the effect mechanism of positive relationships and work-meaning cognition [ 70 ]. Their results show that assisting employees in discovering their work meaning is a more economical and feasible strategy of cultivating positive emotions in the workplace.…”

Previous studies found that teachers’ psychological capital positively affects their workplace well-being. However, the underlying internal mechanism behind this relationship remains ambiguous. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of ego-resiliency and work-meaning cognition on this relationship among Chinese teachers. The questionnaire, including the psychology capital scale (PCS), workplace well-being subscale (WWBS), Psychological Empowerment Scale (PESS), and Ego-Resiliency Scale (ERS), was used to collect data points from 1388 primary and secondary school teachers. The results reveal that: (1) teachers’ psychological capital positively predicts workplace well-being; (2) work-meaning cognition mediates the relationship between teachers’ psychological capital and workplace well-being; (3) the influence of work-meaning cognition on the relationship between teachers’ psychological capital and workplace well-being is moderated by ego-resiliency. These findings explore the factors that affect well-being and point to potential ways to enhance teachers’ workplace well-being.

“…A feeling of meaning can be characterized as possessing a purposeful trajectory in life, harboring the belief that one's existence holds significance, and establishing a connection with a higher entity outside oneself (Steger, 2012). According to Goh et al (2022), meaningful interactions and positive relationships majorly mediate the road from happy emotions to achievement. Significance serves as a more potent intermediary than good connections.…”

Blind children can benefit from music education as it enhances their musical skills and auditory abilities. However, blind children in China face challenges in pursuing music education due to issues such as social stigma and lack of qualified teachers. Moreover, research in this area is lacking. On the basis of the PERMA (positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment) framework, this study attempts to identify the positive psychology of blind children’s piano learning among teachers, blind students, and parents. This study aims to to fill the research gap of piano learning among blind children. Interviews were conducted with piano teachers, blind students, and their parents (N=56) using a qualitative research methodology through PERMA framework. The data identified that piano teachers’ instruction was influenced by their preparation of teaching and personal attitudes. Findings also revealed that the positive emotion, sense of engagement, and positive relationships, impacted the accomplishment and achievement of all participants. This study demonstrates that teachers’ preparation experience and positive attitudes, engagement, and building rapport with blind children and their parents are crucial to promoting their piano learning. This study offers readers the chance to get insight into the field of piano instruction for the blind as well as illumination from thought and empirical support for piano teachers and music educators in inclusive music education in China.

“…Another study examined whether PERMA mediates the relationship between functioning and life satisfaction in students with disabilities and reported that PERMA mediates the relationship between functioning and life satisfaction (Tansey et al, 2018). Recent research (Goh et al, 2022) examined whether some pillars of PERMA (i.e., engagement, relationships, and meaning) mediate the relationship between positive emotions and accomplishment and found that meaning in life and positive relationships mediated the relationship between positive emotion and accomplishment in >500 working adults recruited from China, Australia, Japan, and Hungary.…”

The student veteran population has been growing in higher education, along with the attention to their happiness and well-being. Seligman developed the positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment (PERMA) model to help understand an individual’s happiness, including five pillars: Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationship, Meaning, and Accomplishment. In this study, we aim at evaluating the role of the PERMA model’s five pillars in explaining the relationship between service-connected disability and happiness. Data were collected from 205 student veterans. The result demonstrated that positive emotion and accomplishment mediated the relationship between service-connected disability and happiness. The findings of this study suggest utilizing positive psychology to help student veterans improve happiness, as well as engage in more activities that could potentially increase an individual’s positive emotion and accomplishment, and eventually increase the level of happiness.
