“…Positive affect relates positively to creativity in organizations [77]. Both cognitive hope and character strengths increase subjective well-being (SWB) [78][79][80][81][82][83]. As positive affect is an independent measure for SWB, clearly it should be correlated with character strength and hope [84].…”

Innovative technologies are expected to play a significant role in climate change mitigation and adaptation within the agriculture sector and in global food security. Clearly, however, the value of technological innovations in the agriculture sector is premised on their adoption. Therefore, understanding why farmers differ in their adoption of innovative green technologies is important. In the following paper, we review current literature and set the theoretical framework for suggesting that three important personal resources correlate with agricultural technology adoption: positive emotions, character strengths (including specific ones), and cognitive goal-oriented hope. This study constitutes an important theoretical basis for future practical recommendations for environmental policy, positive psychology, and innovation adoption that may help narrow some of the gaps in technology adoption rates. In addition to its theoretical innovation, the importance of this study lies in its practical value: we focus on variables that are influenced through policy, education, and communication. The theoretical connections between positive psychology and environmental studies emerging from this study should be developed and explored. We hope that this new perspective will motivate future research on these factors within diverse farming communities across different nations.

“…Speaking about character strengths, several studies have explored its connection to life satisfaction and other concepts of well-being (Buschor, Proyer, & Ruch, 2013;Castro-Solano & Cosentino, 2016;Douglass & Duffy, 2015;Korotkov & Godbout, 2014;Lim, 2015;Martinez-Marti & Ruch, 2014;Park, Peterson, & Seligman, 2004;Park, Peterson, & Ruch, 2009;Peterson, Park, & Seligman, 2005;Peterson et al, 2007;Peterson, Park, Hall, & Seligman, 2009;Petkari & Ortiz-Tallo, 2016;Proctor, Tweed, & Morris, 2016;Proyer, Gander, Wyss, & Ruch, 2011;Proyer, Ruch, & Buschor, 2012;Sheldon, Jose, Kashdan, & Jarden, 2015;Shimai, Otake, Park, Peterson, & Seligman, 2006;Vella-Brodrick, Park, & Peterson, 2009;Weber, Ruch, Littman-Ovadia, Lavy, & Gai, 2013;Wellenzohn, Proyer, & Ruch, 2016). From these studies, it was identiYied that the character strengths of zest, hope, gratitude, love, and curiosity have the most frequent and highest relation to life satisfaction.…”

“…Notably, there are also studies that examine how character strengths are applied in the area of health and wellness. Gratitude and hope have been identiYied as top strengths related to health and wellness (Bertisch, Rath, Long, Ashman, & Rashid, 2014;Chaves, Hervas, Garcıá, & Vazquez, 2016;Gibbs & Larcus, 2015;Hanks, Rapport, Waldron-Perrine, & Millis, 2014;Hausler, Strecker, Huber, Brenner, Höge, & Höfer, 2017;Huffman etal., 2016;Korotkov & Godbout, 2014;Leventhal etal., 2015;Leventhal et al, 2016;Ma et al, 2008;Mirkovic et al, 2016;O'Donnell, 2013;Proyer et al, 2013;Seoane, Tompkins, De Conciliis, & Boysen, 2016;Stocker & Hefferon, 2016).…”
