This is the first book to bring together examples of research in
positive psychology / psychofortology conducted in the
multi-cultural South African context with its diverse populations
and settings. The volume reflects basic as well as applied
well-being research in the multicultural South African context, as
conducted in various contexts and with a variety of methods and
foci. Theoretical, review, and empirical research contributions are
made, reflecting positivist to constructivist approaches, and
include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method approaches.
Some findings support universality assumptions, but others
uncovered unique cultural patterns. Chapters report on well-being
research conducted in the domains of education, work, health, and
family, and in clinical, urban vs. rural, and unicultural vs.
multicultural contexts. Studies span the well-being of adolescents,
adults, and older people, and topics include resilience in
individuals, families, and groups, measurement issues and coping
processes, the role of personal and contextual variables, and
facets such as hope, spirituality, self-regulation, and
interventions.
