Culture and positive psychology
The interaction between culture and positive psychology is important to consider in order to better understand how positive psychology varies across cultures. Understanding these differences are vital in the formation and implementation of Positive Psychology interventions. More contemporary research accepts the notion of cultural sensitivity shown through efforts to understand and consider others. Culture influences if or how people seek help, how people define their social support structure, how people cope, as well as a variety of other factors relating to psychological well being.
==Overview==
Various cultural factors are thought to have an influence on the effects of positive psychology. These factors include transmitted patterns of ideas through values and beliefs, which are perpetuated through practices, institutions, and other channels, conceptions of the self and others, and views toward what constitutes the good life.
With the increasing amount of research being done, there are also increasing amounts of data showing that cultural factors do, in fact, affect people’s notions of perceived happiness. The current general literature discusses positive psychology into two categories: Western and Eastern. Cultural psychologist Richard Shweder argues that these factors help shape what people deem is good, moral, and virtuous. Westerners seek rewards on more of a physical plane, while Easterners seek to transcend the physical plane to a spiritual one.〔Shweder, R.A., Much, N.C., Mahapatra, M., & Park, L. (1997). The "Big Three" of Morality (Autonomy, Community, Divinity) and the "Big Three" Explanations of Suffering. In A. Brandt & P. Rozin (Eds.) ''Morality and Health''. New York: Routledge〕 While Western literature generally stresses autonomy, individuality, and personal satisfaction, their Eastern counterparts generally believe in harmony, collective cooperation, and group satisfaction.
More research is currently being done on their differences, as well as how they will affect applications of positive psychology. The increased knowledge on this topic will lead to a wider variety of techniques for developing healthier psyches in a global context. Namely, a greater knowledge of cultural aspects in positive psychology will aid professionals in many fields, such as medicine, education, and business. While there are controversies in the study of positive psychology in general, including large debate on how pervasive cultural attitudes affects a person’s perception of happiness, the large amount of interest in this field will generate more conclusive ideas in the future.
