Character Strengths and Virtues

''Character Strengths and Virtues'' (CSV) is a book by Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman (2004) that attempts
to present a measure of humanist ideals of virtue in an empirical, rigorously scientific manner.

In the same way that the ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders'' is used to assess and facilitate research on mental disorders, CSV is intended to provide a theoretical framework to assist in developing practical applications for positive psychology.
== Definition of strengths and virtues ==
CSV identifies six classes of virtue (i.e., "core virtues"), made up of twenty-four measurable "character strengths". CSV defined character strengths as satisfying most of the ten following criteria. Character strengths are
# fulfilling;
# intrinsically valuable, in an ethical sense (gifts, skills, aptitudes, and expertise can be squandered, but character strengths and virtues cannot);
# non-rivalrous;
# not the opposite of a desirable trait (a counterexample is steadfast and flexible, which are opposites but are both commonly seen as desirable);
# trait-like (habitual patterns that are relatively stable over time);
# not a combination of the other character strengths in the CSV;
# personified (at least in the popular imagination) by people made famous through story, song, etc.;
# observable in child prodigies (though this criterion is not applicable to all character strengths);
# absent in some individuals;
# and nurtured by societal norms and institutions.
The introduction of CSV suggests that these six virtues are considered good by the vast majority of cultures and throughout history and that these traits lead to increased happiness when practiced. Notwithstanding numerous cautions and caveats, this suggestion of universality hints that in addition to trying to broaden the scope of psychological research to include mental wellness, the leaders of the positive psychology movement are challenging moral relativism and suggesting that virtue has a biological basis.〔 These arguments are in line with the science of morality.
Each of the twenty-four character traits is defined behaviorally, with psychometric evidence demonstrating that it can be reliably measured.
The book shows that "empirically minded humanists can measure character strengths and virtues in a rigorous scientific manner."〔

Practical applications of positive psychology include helping individuals and organizations correctly identify their strengths and use them to increase and sustain their respective levels of well-being. Each trait "provides one of many alternative paths to virtue and well-being."〔 Therapists, counselors, coaches, and various other psychological professionals can use the new methods and techniques to build and broaden the lives of individuals who are not necessarily suffering from mental illness or disorder.
Finally, other researchers have advocated grouping the 24 identified character traits into just four classes of strength (Intellectual, Social, Temperance, Transcendent) or even just three classes (without Transcendence). Not only is this easier to remember, but additionally there is evidence that these adequately capture the components of the 24 original traits.〔Jessica Shryack, Michael F. Steger, Robert F. Krueger, Christopher S. Kallie. 2010. The structure of virtue: An empirical investigation of the dimensionality of the virtues in action inventory of strengths. Elsevier.〕
Perspective and wisdom (personified for example by Ann Landers): the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and "its deliberate use to improve wellbeing."〔
〕 Many, but not all, studies find that adults' self-ratings of perspective/wisdom do not depend on age. This stands in contrast to the popular notion that wisdom increases with age.〔
