AuthenticHappiness.com is the hub for the University of Pennsylvania Positive Psychology program’s website. If you’re into thinking about what makes us happy, you’ll love it. The site is a playground of self-evaluation quizzes like:
- Authentic Happiness Inventory - Measures Overall Happiness
- CES-D Questionnaire - Measure Depression Symptoms
- Fordyce Emotions Questionnaire - Measures Current Happiness
- General Happiness Scale - Assesses Enduring Happiness
- PANAS Questionnaire - Measures Positive and Negative Affect
I enjoyed the 18-question Approaches to Happiness Questionnaire too although after answering all the questions in a certain way I kind of knew how I’d score. ("Life is too short to postpone the pleasures it can provide." - YES!)
Goal-Orientation Research Study
The Positive Psychology Center’s Grit Study is now open for participants, which is perfect for anyone who’s made a list on SuperViva. Here’s the deal:
Grit is a particular orientation to long-term goals. In this 10-minute
study, you can help us understand how grit relates to other personality
traits such as extraversion and openness to experience. You can also
help us understand whether our own self-evaluation of grit and related
traits corresponds to the perceptions of our friends and family
members. Do we see ourselves as others see us? All participants will be
emailed a summary of our research findings upon completion of this
study.
Have fun!
