The VIA Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS), formerly known as the "Values in Action Inventory," is a psychological assessment measure designed to identify an individual’s profile of character strengths. It was created by Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman, well-known researchers in the field of positive psychology, in order to operationalize their Character Strengths and Virtues Handbook (CSV).〔Peterson & Seligman. (2004). ''Character strengths and virtues: a handbook and classification.'' Washington, DC: APA Press.〕 The CSV is the positive psychology counterpart to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) used in traditional psychology.〔 Unlike the DSM, which scientifically categorizes human deficits and disorders, the CSV classifies positive human strengths.〔Snyder & Lopez. (2007). ''Positive Psychology: The Scientific and Practical Explorations of Human Strengths.'' Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications.〕 Moreover, the CSV is centered on helping people recognize and build upon their strengths. This aligned with the overall goal of the positive psychology movement, which aims to make people’s lives more fulfilling, rather than simply treating mental illness.〔 Notably, the VIA-IS is the tool by which people can identify their own positive strengths and learn how to capitalize on them.〔 ==Classification of Strengths== # Wisdom and Knowledge: creativity, curiosity, judgment, love of learning, perspective # Courage: bravery, perseverance, honesty, zest # Humanity: love, kindness, social intelligence # Justice: teamwork, fairness, leadership # Temperance: forgiveness, humility, prudence, self-regulation # Transcendence: appreciation of beauty and excellence, gratitude, hope, humor, spirituality〔http://www.viacharacter.org/viainstitute/classification.aspx〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Values in Action Inventory of Strengths」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
