character strength research

Top five strength that I have:

1- Love of learning

2- Leadership

3- Citizenship, team work, and loyalty

4- Zest, enthusiasm, energy

5- Judgement, critical thinking, and open minded

For each of your top 5 strengths, find a research article (this cannot be a website, or a newspaper/magazine article but an actual study) that supports how that strength (or a topic similar to your strength) contributes to overall happiness and provide the following:

. How that strength contributes to happiness (your fact)

. A paragraph (5 sentences minimum) on your thoughts on the study and how it contributes to your life

. Citation: APA format both in text citation and a full citation

. 10pts. total - 1pt on how each strength contributes to your happiness and 1pt on the supplemental research article that supports what you are saying (2pts per strength X 5 strengths/research articles = 10pts)

To clarify the research article:

It should be an article that is from a journal. You have to cite everything in the citation included the journal name

Example:

Martínez-Martí, M. L., Hernández-Lloreda, M. J., & Avia, M. D. (2015). Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence: Relationship with Personality, Prosociality and Well-Being. Journal of Happiness Studies, 17(6), 2613-2634. doi:10.1007/s10902-015-9709-6
