"The right to "pursue happiness" is one of the dominant themes of western culture, and understanding the causes of happiness is one of the primary goals of the positive psychology movement. However, before the causality question can even be considered, a more basic question must be addressed : can happiness change? Reasons for skepticism include the notion of a "genetic set point" for happiness, i.e. a stable personal baseline of happiness to which individuals will always return, no matter how much their lives change for the better; the life-span stability of happiness-related traits such as neuroticism and extraversion; and the powerful processes of hedonic adaptation, which erode the positive effects of any fortuitous life change. This book investigates prominent theories on happiness with the research evidence to discuss when and how happiness changes and for how long."

"Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kedekatan hubungan antara pemberi dan penerima tindakan baik terhadap kebahagiaan pemberi. Dalam penelitian ini, 56 partisipan yang merupakan mahasiswa Universitas Indonesia dibagi menjadi dua kelompok secara acak dan diberikan tugas untuk melakukan tugas tindakan baik selama tiga pekan. Kelompok 1 (n=26) diminta untuk melakukan tindakan baik kepada orang-orang terdekat, sedangkan kelompok 2 (n=30) diminta untuk melakukan tindakan baik kepada orang-orang yang tidak begitu dikenal ataupun orang asing. Peningkatan kebahagiaan partisipan pada kedua kompok kemudian dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan teknik independent t-test, dan hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat peningkatan kebahagiaan yang berbeda secara signifikan antara dua kelompok penelitian (p = 0,412). Berbagai temuan dalam penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai informasi awal untuk menentukan strategi atau intervensi yang efektif dalam meningkatkan kebahagiaan.

This experiment study was conducted to identify the effect of closeness between giver and receiver act of kindness on giver?s happiness. Fifty six Univeristy of Indonesia students were randomly divided into two groups and required to perform act of kindness task once a week for a three weeks. The first group (n=26) was asked to commit act of kindness toward their close relations, while the second group (n=30) was asked to commit act of kindness either toward people they don?t really know well or strangers. Happiness enhancement between two groups were analyzed statistically with independent t-test technique. The result shows no significant difference in happiness enhancement between two groups (p= 0,412). Findings of this research could be used as a prior information to determine strategies or make an effective intervention to boosting happiness."

"Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh waktu pemberian umpan balik dari penerima surat terima kasih terhadap kebahagiaan pengirimnya. Ini dilakukan untuk melanjutkan penelitian sebelumnya yang menunjukkan bahwa menulis surat terima kasih dapat meningkatkan kebahagiaan (Seligman et al., 2005; Toepfer et al. 2012), tetapi belum meneliti pengaruh waktu pemberian umpan balik dari penerima surat. Partisipan sejumlah 45 mahasiswa diminta membuat serta menyampaikan satu surat terima kasih setiap pekannya selama tiga minggu dan secara acak dibagi ke dalam dua kelompok berdasarkan waktu pemberian umpan balik dari penerima surat, yakni kelompok umpan balik langsung (n = 22) dan tertunda (n = 23). Hasil penelitian mendukung hipotesis, yakni peningkatan kebahagiaan dari saat sebelum dan setelah periode penelitian pada kelompok umpan balik langsung lebih tinggi secara signifikan dibandingkan kelompok umpan balik tertunda, t (43) = 2,207, p < 0,05 (one-tailed), r2 = 0,1017. Dibandingkan umpan balik tertunda, partisipan yang menerima umpan balik langsung terpengaruh dan mempengaruhi emosi penerima surat secara timbal balik. Partisipan juga secara segera memperoleh penguat berupa ungkapan syukur kembali dari penerima surat, sehingga berdasarkan prinsip belajar dapat meningkatkan keinginan untuk memunculkan tingkah laku yang sama di kemudian hari.

The aim of this study is to know the effect of delayed feedback from receiver of gratitude letter towards sender?s happiness. This study is the continuation of the previous researches that showed writing a gratitude letter can increase happiness (Seligman et al., 2005; Toepfer et al. 2012), but had not yet investigated the effect of delayed feedback from receivers. 45 college participants were asked to write and deliver one gratitude letter every week for three weeks and were randomly assigned to two experimental groups based on the moment of feedback from receivers, direct (n=22) or delayed (n=23).

The result of this study supports the hypothesis that the gained score of happiness of direct feedback group from before and after the experiment is higher than delayed feedback group, t (43) = 2,207, p < 0,05 (one-tailed), r2 = 0,1017. Compared to delayed feedback group, participants in direct feedback group can be affected by and influence receivers? emotion reciprocally. Participants also receive reinforcers such as expressions of gratitude in return from receivers immediately, and thus in accordance with learning principle, can increase the emergence of the same behavior in the future."

"This book summarizes the research on positive well-being in children, with a particular focus on their happiness. It starts with a discussion of the constructs of positive psychology (i.e., well-being, happiness and life satisfaction), and then outlines the research that shows the importance of studying well-being. Next, it explores how researchers measure happiness and what these measures tell us about whether children are happy and how their happiness differs from adults. Following this, it discusses current positive psychology theories with the aim of suggesting their promise in understanding children’s well-being. Next, it examines the importance of individual differences, including culture and temperament. Because studies have only recently identified several of the factors associated with children’s happiness, the book ends with a discussion of how we might enhance children’s well-being and suggests directions for future research."
