The Quality of life and Positive Psychology

Abstract

Psychologists have, for a long time, neglected the positive aspects of personality, and all their focus has been on the negative ones, until recently the focus on studying the quality of life, and its associated dimensions and variables, has been stressed in positive psychology. The latter is the field that emerged to stress the scientists' emphasis on the importance of adopting a positive view when looking at life instead of the exaggerated focus that psychologists have given to the negative aspects, in order to present a new scientific trend focusing on human capabilities and aspects of strengths and virtues, which have an effective role in developing positive traits of human beings. Therefore, through this study, we will attempt to shed light on the concept of quality of life and addressing the role of positive psychology in achieving the quality of life.
