DPSY 584 - Strengths of Character and VIrtue

2 Credit(s)

In this seminar, students examine the emerging findings in positive psychology relating to character and virtue. Students use Peterson and Seligman (2004) as a basis to explore whether there is a universal, cross-cultural consensus concerning the definition of character and virtue. Students also explore the six strengths of character: wisdom and knowledge, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence, and the clinical implications of each.
