“…Text corpus-based “culturomic” methods (Michel et al, 2011 ) have been used to address historical trends within psychology and cognate fields. For instance, researchers used the Google Books corpus to explore the rise and fall of psychoanalytic concepts (Haslam and Ye, 2019 ) and moral foundations (Wheeler et al, 2019 ) over time. Vylomova et al ( 2019 ) documented the increases in the relative frequency of harm-related concepts in psychology article abstracts over the past half century.…”

The positive psychology movement, launched near the start of the twenty-first century, aimed to shift the focus of psychology away from misery, conflict, and pathology toward happiness, human flourishing, and wellbeing. However, there have been few attempts to gauge whether psychology as a whole has become more positive in its focus. This study tested this possibility by examining a corpus of 829,701 abstracts from articles published in 875 psychology journals between 1970 and 2017. Positivity was indexed by the positive emotion dictionary using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count tool and a newly constructed positive character dictionary. Both indices showed a steep rise through the study period, with the positive character index's rise occurring since 2000. A Negative Emotion index also rose linearly over the study period, suggesting that the rise in positive emotion might reflect in part a general increase in affective or evaluative language use. While there appears to have been an increase in psychology's positivity, that increase is complex, non-linear, and the degree to which it can be ascribed to positive psychology remains uncertain.

Oscar Wilde is recognized for his tragedy and supernatural short stories as one of his astonish works, The Black Cat, still discussed in this very modern day. In 1888, Wilde then succeeded to make a move of his work by the publication of his collection entitled The Happy Prince and Other Tales. The collection consists numbers of the stories; The Happy Prince, The Nightingale and The Rose, The Selfish Giant, and The Devoted Friends. Considering seven works in ne collection, it is possible that Wilde himself did a slip of the pen among his works in a collection. This study aims to find a slip of the pen in Wilde's collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales, and to analyze the construction and the effect of the slip through his collection as well. In analyzing the occurrence of the slip, the study uses the psychopathology of everyday life, one of the remarkable theories of Freud. This study finds that Wilde, in fact, did two kinds of slip of the pen such realization on his writing and meaning repetition. For the realization, it could be find on his first story where he actually wanted to show the great sense of love and kindness in The Happy Prince, but ended the story by shading the love itself with 'little better than a beggar'. For the meaning repetition, it appeared on his idea on love as a silly thing on the second to the fourth story.
