This volume presents clearly defined and described evidence-based
positive psychology interventions (PPIs), which have been validated
in multi-cultural contexts. It discusses validated PPIs which have
been shown to have a significant impact in both clinical and
real-world settings. From the late 1990s, there has been an upsurge
in popular psychological "self-help" publications drawing from
processes and principles of positive psychology. These publications
are based on clinically validated PPI studies and translated in a
"consumer friendly" manner. However, in these popular works the
intervention methods are significantly altered from the original
forms, and the contexts of the consumers are meaningfully different
from those of the original study populations, the impact on outcome
variables are often misinterpreted or over-inflated, and incorrect
outcome variables are targeted. Original research articles also do
not extensively discuss the content of the interventions, but
merely present short descriptions of the PPI. As such, the
intervention content cannot accurately be translated into practice.
Hence, the need for this volume which discusses in depth how
validated PPIs in various multi-cultural contexts work in both
clinical and real-world settings.
