“…A 5-week online positive psychology intervention, focusing on positive emotions (e.g. engagement and meaning), increased pregnant women's life satisfaction and reduced depression (Corno et al 2018). PhD students' mental distress was alleviated after 8-week engagement and motivation training (Marais et al 2018).…”

This study aimed to examine the relationships between mental wellbeing and positive psychological constructs in therapeutic students (psychotherapy and occupational therapy students). The number of therapeutic students has increased recently; however, they suffer from poor mental health, which may be improved by potentiating their positive psychological constructs, bypassing mental health shame. Therapeutic students (n = 145) completed measures regarding positive psychological constructs, namely mental wellbeing, engagement, motivation, resilience, and self-compassion. Resilience and self-compassion predicted mental wellbeing, explaining a large effect. Self-compassion partially mediated the relationship between resilience and mental wellbeing. This study highlights the importance of positive psychological constructs, especially resilience and self-compassion, for mental wellbeing of therapeutic students.

Research has demonstrated that positive interventions (PIs) can be effective in enhancing well-being. Our study used Facebook to conduct a PI based on savoring. Sixty-one university students in Taiwan were randomly assigned to undergo a three-week savoring PI, and 61 participants were assigned to a no-treatment control group. The results showed significantly enhanced positive affect in the treatment group compared to the control group, in both a post-test and a final follow-up, but no significant differences between the two groups in negative affect. The treatment group also displayed significantly lower depression in the post-test, which was not maintained at the follow-up. These results indicate that, for university students, a savoring intervention via Facebook can be an effective way of enhancing positive emotions.

“…A randomized controlled trial (RCT) examining the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy noted that an increase in positive psychology outcomes concurred with a decrease in depression (Bohlmeijer et al 2015). A web-based positive psychology intervention, targeting positive emotions, engagement, and meaning, enhanced pregnant women's well-being and reduced depression (Corno et al 2018). Further, an 8-week positive psychology training, focused on engagement and motivation, reduced PhD students' mental distress (Marais et al 2018).…”

Malaysia plays a key role in education of the Asia Pacific, expanding its scholarly output rapidly. However, mental health of Malaysian students is challenging, and their helpseeking is low because of stigma. This study explored the relationships between mental health and positive psychological constructs (academic engagement, motivation, selfcompassion, and well-being), and evaluated the relative contribution of each positive psychological construct to mental health in Malaysian students. An opportunity sample of 153 students completed the measures regarding these constructs. Correlation, regression, and mediation analyses were conducted. Engagement, amotivation, self-compassion, and well-being were associated with, and predicted large variance in mental health. Selfcompassion was the strongest independent predictor of mental health among all the positive psychological constructs. Findings can imply the strong links between mental health and positive psychology, especially self-compassion. Moreover, intervention studies to examine the effects of self-compassion training on mental health of Malaysian students appear to be warranted.
