This handbook examines the new and rapidly growing field of the
positive humanities-an area of academic research at the
intersection of positive psychology and the arts and humanities.
Written by leading experts across a wide range of academic
disciplines, the volume begins with an overview of the science and
culture of human flourishing, covering historical and current
trends in this literature. Next, contributors consider the
well-being benefits of engagement with the arts and humanities,
marking out neurological, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and
social pathways to human flourishing. These pathways lead to
detailed investigations of individual fields within the arts and
humanities, including music, the visual arts, philosophy, history,
literature, religion, theater, and film. Along the way, the book
thoroughly synthesizes theory, research, and exemplary practice,
concluding with thought-provoking discussions of avenues for public
engagement and policy. With its expansive coverage of both the
field as a whole and specialized disciplinary and interdisciplinary
drivers, The Oxford Handbook of the Positive Humanities advances
the literature on the theory and science of well-being and extends
the scope of the arts and humanities.
There have been tremendous advancements in technology-based
assessments in new modes of data collection and the use of
artificial intelligence. Traditional assessment techniques in the
fields of psychology, business, education, and health need to be
reconsidered. Yet, while technology is pervasive, its spread is not
consistent due to national differences in economics and culture.
Given these trends, this book offers an integrative consolidation
of how technology is changing the face of assessments across
different regions of the world. There are three major book
sections: in foundations, core issues of computational models,
passively sensed data, and privacy concerns are discussed; in
global perspectives, the book identifies ways technology has
changed how we assess human attributes across the world, and
finally, in regional focus, the book surveys how different regions
around the world have adopted technology-based assessments for
their unique cultural and societal context.
This book contains a wealth of practical arts activities, which
creatively and playfully bring positive psychology concepts - such
as flow, character strengths, goals and self-awareness - to life.
With straightforward, step-by-step instructions, each chapter
includes an overview of a positive psychology concept, followed by
associated arts activities, and case examples illustrating the
activities' uses in therapy and supervision. Also included are
post-activity guiding questions to promote a dialogue between
therapist and client, and suggestions for adapting the activities
for clients to utilize outside the therapy room. Blending the
strengths-based focus of positive psychology with the healing,
transformative practice of the arts, this book is for all
practitioners wanting to cultivate the mental health, flourishing
and wellbeing of their clients using a creative approach.
Technological advances have led to an abundance of widely-available
data on every aspect of life today. Psychologists today have more
information than ever before on human cognition, emotion,
attitudes, and behavior. Big Data in Psychological Research
addresses the opportunities and challenges and that this data
presents to psychological researchers. This edited collection
provides an overview of theoretical approaches to the utility and
purpose of Big Data, approaches to research design and analysis,
collection methods, applications, limitations, best practice
recommendations, and key issues related to privacy, security, and
ethical concerns that are essential to understand for anyone
working with big data. The book also discusses potential future
research directions aimed at improving the quality and
interpretation of big data projects, as well as the training and
evaluation of psychological science teams that conduct research
using big data.
