Individual differences in the effects of a positive psychology intervention: Applied psychology

Religiosidade, estratégias de coping e satisfação com a vida: Verificação de um modelo de influência em estudantes universitários

“…De forma geral, esta pesquisa pretendeu verificar um modelo teórico sistêmico, o qual hipotetizava-se uma interdependência entre as variáveis Religiosidade, Coping e Satisfação com a Vida. Dessa maneira, não apenas se comprovou o modelo pretendido, mas, acredita-se que os resultados observados estão dentro do pressuposto teórico da Psicologia Positiva (Antoine et. al., 2018).…”

“…al., 2018). Assim, pode-se refletir em relação ao funcionamento sistêmico do sujeito onde habilidades, potenciais humanos, motivações e recursos adaptativos devem ser fomentados no tratamento clínico para que esse indivíduo tenha melhores condições de saúde mental e consequentemente sentir-se mais capaz de lidar com as demandas do ensino universitário (Antoine et. al., 2018).…”

GET.HAPPY2 – User perspectives on an internet‐based self‐management positive psychology intervention among persons with and without depression: Results from a retrospective survey

“…In the past decade, a growing number of studies have focused on investigating the effects of PPIs on symptoms of depression in convenience samples (often referred to as “distressed” individuals) as well as clinically depressed individuals. The majority of studies, most of them investigating online programs, suggest that PPIs can lead to an increase in well‐being, a reduction in symptoms of depression as well as anxiety, and an increase in subjective health (Antoine, Dauvier, Andreotti, & Congard, ; Bolier, Haverman, Kramer et al, ; Görges, Oehler, Hirschhausen, von, Hegerl, & Rummel‐Kluge, ; Seligman, Rashid, & Parks, ; Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, ; Shapira & Mongrain, ; Wellenzohn, Proyer, & Ruch, ; see Bolier & Abello, ; Mitchell, Vella‐Brodrick, & Klein, for reviews) . Recent studies comparing PPI and CBT group therapies suggest that PPIs are as effective as CBT interventions in treating severe clinical depression, while leading to even greater satisfaction scores among patients (Chaves, Lopez‐Gomez, Hervas, & Vazquez, ; Lopez‐Gomez, Chaves, Hervas, & Vazquez, ).…”

GET.HAPPY - Acceptance of an internet-based self-management positive psychology intervention for adult primary care patients with mild and moderate depression or dysthymia: A pilot study

“…Unlike most of the programs using CBT, which usually incorporate a number of different topics and exercises, most of the OPPIs investigated in the aforementioned studies were short one-week exercises. So far, only a few studies have investigated longer or more complex programs, most of which incorporate exercises from both positive psychology and other disciplines, such as cognitive therapy ( Abbott et al 2009 ; Antoine et al 2018 ; Bolier, Haverman, Kramer, Westerhof, Riper, Walburg, and Bohlmeijer, 2013a ; Roepke et al 2015 ) and results were mixed. Both Antoine et al (2018) and Abbott et al (2009) assessed changes in symptoms of depression in non-clinical samples.…”

Both Antoine et al (2018) and Abbott et al (2009) assessed changes in symptoms of depression in non-clinical samples. While Antoine et al (2018) observed a decrease in symptoms of depression, Abbott et al (2009) did not, possibly due to small sample sizes and high attrition rates.…”
