Positive psychology tries to identify the kind of positive affect that occurs from one activity to another. Some scientists insist that the participants should be asked to write down the details of their current situation and maintain a diary with entries made each morning about the own improvement from the status day before.

Here is the ABC of positive psychology.

A; Affording positive experiences

B: Back-up support and hand-holding for positive behavioral and attitudinal changes

C: Creating positive relationships

D: Developing positive institutions

E: Enduring positive psychological traits and attitudes

Positive Psychology can be useful for personal and social change and well-being, since it:

- stresses more positive view of the human condition by believing in the fundamental strengths of humankind to learn and get better and happy.

- subscribes for scientific look at and practical explorations of happiness and flourishing of human strengths

- tries to find out how our happiness levels can be increased, what stops us from flourishing and how it can be applied for personal development and to many other professional disciplines.

- deals with the central themes of happiness, hope, creativity, and wisdom and it teaches us how to assess, develop, and utilize an individual's character strengths to make life fulfilling and satisfying.
