Outline of Final Research Achievements

Character strengths can be described as “the psychological processes or mechanisms that define the virtues” (Peterson & Seligman, 2004; Park & Peterson, 2006). Our focus was to analyze the core concept of positive traits by observing how character strengths change collectively under a large-scale event as well as on an individual level on a daily basis.
We observed a significant change in both cases, from before to after the large-scale crisis which occurred in 2011 in Japan as well as from before to after the character strengths intervention in an ordinary setting. As a result, we got some clues to elucidate a model to build psychological resilience by activating character strengths. However, both cases need further discussion in order to clarify how a change of character strengths varies according to different types of crises and also how all 24 character strengths work for a change comprehensively.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

CSに関する学術研究は、そのほとんどが個人におけるCSの変容に注目したものである。本研究では、2011年の東日本大震災・福島原発事故の前後で、CSを測定するオンライン版質問紙に回答した1,830人分のデータという貴重なリソースを活用することで、CSの集合的な変容を分析するという課題に取り組んだ。
大規模な危機的状況下における人々の変化に関する叙述には、病理学的変化を中心とするものが多い。ただ、現実には、病理学的変化を上回る割合で、思考や感情、行動において、ポジティブな適応を示す場合が多い。本研究では、具体的にCSの変容を解明することで、ポジティブな適応の実態を示すことを意図した。
