Project Report from the year 2018 in the subject Psychology - General, grade: 68/100 (merit), University of East London (Psychology), course: MSc Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology, language: English, abstract: Positive psychology provides us with a selection of evidence-based exercises and interventions, aiming to improve our overall wellbeing and quality of life. When choosing a positive psychology intervention (PPI) out of a constantly growing pool of variations, to receive the best possible results, one should take into account the individual’s personality, strengths and weaknesses - including values and goals, sources of happiness and additional factors such as one’s level of motivation. The Person-Activity Fit Diagnostic, a tool which considers a number of these factors, may help find a suitable intervention for those who are not sure where to start, while others may intuitively know what fits them and what doesn’t, as suggested by Lyubomirsky (2008). For me this has been achieved through a combination of in-depth research and following my intuition.
