This is the first work to condense the large literature on explanatory style -- one's tendency to offer similar sorts of explanations for different events. This cognitive variable has been related to psychopathology, physical health, achievement and success. Compiled by experts in the fields of depression, anxiety, psychoneuroimmunology and motivation, this volume details our current level of understanding, outlines gaps in our knowledge, and discusses the future directions of the field. Data from a vast number of studies are presented, including results from studies not previously reported. Coverage includes sections on cross-cultural comparisons, life-span and development issues, and gender differences; and an extensive description of the measurement of explanatory style offering questionnaire and content-analysis methods for children, college populations and adults. This work is thus a valuable tool for anyone involved in research on the etiology and treatment of depression, cognitive therapy, motivation and emotion, and the link between physical and psychological well-being.

The present work is focused on the fundamental lay theories that structure social understanding in everyday encounters as people strive to "make sense of" the actions and outcomes of others. Below, it is argued that whereas existing approaches have focused primarily on the idea that people's lay theories of social action contain explanatory principles relating to the idea that human action stems from unobservable mental states (i.e., Theory of Mind approaches, e.g., Flavell et al., 1986), these approaches have left under-examined other aspects of lay theories of social action. In particular, I submit that lay theories of social action also contain causal-explanatory principles relating to the causal origins of human behavior and outcomes, an idea that has its' roots in Attribution Theory (e.g., Heider, 1958). Below, I provide some---albeit not overwhelming---evidence consistent with the idea that individuals possess Social Explanatory Styles---broad and characteristic tendencies to explain the behavioral propensities of others in terms of either internal/self-existent (e.g., "That's just the way she is! She's always doing that!") or external/interconnected (e.g., "Anyone who grew up in an environment like that would behave just like her!") qualities---and, further, that these styles function as lay theories in the sense that they exert theory-like effects on information processing. In particular, Social Explanatory Styles are shown to possess some degree of breadth: They are broadly applied to the explanation of diverse types of human action. In addition, Social Explanatory Styles are shown to guide the processing and interpretation of newly-encountered social-behavioral information.

Positive psychology is the scientific study of what goes right in life, from birth to death and at all stops in between. It is a newly-christened approach within psychology that takes seriously the examination of that which makes life most worth living. Everyone's life has peaks and valleys, and positive psychology does not deny the valleys. Its signature premise is more nuanced, but nonetheless important: what is good about life is as genuine as what is bad and, therefore, deserves equal attention from psychologists. Positive psychology as an explicit perspective has existed only since 1998, but enough relevant theory and research now exist to fill a textbook suitable for a semester-long college course.A Primer in Positive Psychology is thoroughly grounded in scientific research and covers major topics of concern to the field: positive experiences such as pleasure and flow; positive traits such as character strengths, values, and talents; and the social institutions that enable these subjects as well as what recent research might contribute to this knowledge. Every chapter contains exercises that illustrate positive psychology, a glossary, suggestions of articles and books for further reading, and lists of films, websites, and popular songs that embody chapter themes.A comprehensive overview of positive psychology by one of the acknowledged leaders in the field, this textbook provides students with a thorough introduction to an important area of psychology.
