Positive Psychology „Broaden-and Build-Theory“

Barbara L. Fredrickson developed the “Broaden-and Built-Theory“.

The key essence of this theory is, that positive emotions

  • enhance our thinking and awareness,
  • can reduce negative emotive states
  • will support developing psychology resilience
  • can support you to build own abilities
  • increase well-being
  • encourage own development

 Positive emotions in one’s own life and in the life of your conversational partners leads to

  • a good feeling
  • changes us to the better self
  • leads to a healthy life and prosperity

 Positive emotions lead you into a generalized, attitude that leads to more creativity and resilience. This creates a variety of complex possibilities for you.

 In the absence of positive emotions, further development will hardly be possible. One impact is on your freedom to determine one’s own behavior is lost, and we will stay in our pain through negative emotions. To stop this down-spiral, positive emotions are needed, as when they are in excess, the positive emotions support us to grow beyond ourselves.

The „Broaden-and-Build Theory“ demonstrates that positive emotions make us grow beyond ourselves and increase our own well-being.

Do you have ideas, on how you can create positive emotions on a daily basis?
