성격강점의 인식과 활용이 정신건강에 미치는 효과 = The influence of character strengths on mental health

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The authors examined whether acknowledging one's signature strengths and applying these to daily life increases mental health. The authors directly compared treatment based on individual strengths with that based on one's weaknesses to test which intervention was more effective in increasing well-being and decreasing depression. Participants who were aware of or utilized their signature strengths every day over a week experienced significantly greater increases in well-being and significantly greater decreases in depression, compared to the participants who were aware of their own weaknesses or tried to make up for their weaknesses. This implies that interventions based on character strengths are effective in preventing psychopathology and enhancing mental health. Finally, the authors discuss this study's contributions and limitations and offer suggestions for further research.
