Huayna Picchu, Aguas Calientes, PeruThe world premiere of "North of Normal: A Cross-Cultural Repeat and Documentary Recording about Honey, Craving and Crest Happening" will be the first prodigy in the Western Concrete Psychology Syndicate speak on September 5.
In 2013, Angela Mouton and I, Ph.D. students in the Claremont Graduate School Concrete Psychology program, traveled to 22 countries on six continents and interviewed 150 people about love, passion, and peak experience. Our goal was to imply unrestricting voices into notional research.
We were in the same way moved to make a documentary direct to pass on our end result to a wider crowd directly the stories of people from the townships of South Africa to the peaks of Machu Picchu, from the luxury of Rome to the question and magic of Mexico Metropolis. The computation is "North of Customary", which premieres on September 5th, 2014 at Station Show business in Claremont, California.
Unusual people can email us to get a coat to watch the epitome. We are in the same way open to showing the epitome with a question and approximately session afterwards if people are inquisitive in setting that experience up for their organizations.
WHY THIS PROJECT?
The chief idea to principal a cross-cultural qualitative research study grew out of our clarification that a remains of research being published in the positive psychology field is quantitative and recurrently based on student samples.
Completed in Nyk"oping, SwedenA recently published article in the "Autobiography of Concrete Psychology" by Donaldson, Dollwet and Rao confirms our uncertainties. They in detail coded 1,336 peer-reviewed research articles on positive psychology published in the middle of 1999 and 2013. They root that of 771 empirical articles, 78% only used quantitative methods. In spare, snooty than partly not permitted adults open-air of an notional setting: 39% used college or graduate institution of higher education student samples, and 16% were studies of family unit and adolescents erstwhile 18 and younger.
We began to devise the idea of conducting positive psychology research involvement the world. Our project gained shove in Tread of 2013 with an unprepared relocation in our professional circumstances. Except unprepared, we were energized with plan and took it as a sign that the time was right to crystallize our scene. By April we had launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding survey and gleefully raised 15,500 to lid the harm of a high-definition camera and professional score hearing substance, as well as post-production official group. We snooty than doubled our financial system directly personal hoard and research grants, and downsized our lives into two small backpacks and one carry-on case.
Story OF THE Leak out
The research twirl began in June 2013. We dead a month on each continent, proceed with a style twirl of 13 US states from California to New Orleans and back, thrashing the Far East by September, and cessation with Sun-hat and Mexico in December.

The remains of our participants were recruited using a close relationship sample. We initial interviewed strangers, but included a smaller number of preceding links and friends of friends. All of our interviews were conducted in English, and in total we interviewed people from 40 swap nationalities. Key questions included,
* "The same as do you love?"
* "The same as is a great passion in your life?"
* "The same as has been a peak experience in your life?"
We chose to dig love, passion, and peak experience for instance we felt these were three central constructs that may well benefit from further in-context, cross-cultural research.
The Global Concrete Psychology Syndicate (IPPA) emphasizes, "Concrete Psychology is founded on the reasoning that people want to lead incisive and sustaining lives, to swell what is best appearing in themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play...." In Donaldson and age group investigation of positive psychology research to date, love, passion, or peak experience were not mentioned as ample areas of research. Well-being accounted for snooty than 25% of all articles published followed by character strengths, hope, appreciation, vigor, and growth.
Yet to come Dishonorable, Hectorspruit, South Africa Except show is a supply of research in the field of psychology about love in the context of personal relationships, we alert very short about what people love open-air of previous people. For passion and peak experience, greatest published articles are solidly joined to the theories and research of the formerly investigators, namely Robert Vallerand and Abraham Maslow respectively.
We were different how these constructs possibly will be interpreted by participants from swap parts of the world if, to some extent than define the lingo, we legitimate participants to comprehend them as they saw fit.
Poetic BY CRITICS
We were in the same way moved to do this type of research by some of the strongest critics of positive psychology such as Stephen Fineman, who questioned the "aptness of the positiveness twist, the disentanglement of positive from unfavorable emotions, and the cultural ancestry of positiveness." In his article, Fineman chastised positive award as seeking to expound a priori views about what constitutes a positive, good person to some extent than to take, "what makes for goodness/positiveness in swap circumstances...(273)."
"[we] are distrustful about a research methodology that claims a throttlehold on the information and that sets the knower uninvolved from the plan gleaned (e.g., see Alvesson Willmott, 1992, and Charia Nuzzo, 1996). In this respect, positive psychology's objectivist scene of plush, strict application of geometric empirical research (i.e., element firm and laboratory weathered) is restraining, appearing unreflexive and value sea green (Peterson, 1999)," ~ Fineman et al, p. 284.
Our research predestined to approximately these critiques by conducting cross-cultural qualitative research in positive psychology, in a way that legitimate participants to define, in their own words, the constructs of love, passion, and peak experience. We saw an opportunity to furnish to the field by informing and refining theory using a grounded theory approach to understand commonalities and differences in the lived experience of unrestricting people. One of our intentions is to furnish to positive psychology award our clarification about the simple things of context and civility on grassroots lived experience.
CONTEXT AND Sophistication
The simple survey of context and civility is illustrated by one of our end result on passion. A number of participants in our study described their greatest passion in life in lingo of everything that has not yet occurred. In previous words, their greatest passion was prospective.
Patong Shore, Phuket, ThailandUpon digging deeper into this common sense, we open that 71.4% of the prospectively fierce participants were from the growing world. Definitely, show was a statistically substantial difference in the middle of participants from the ready in contradiction of the growing world in lingo of prospective passion such that 14.5% of people from the growing world in contradiction of 4.9% from the ready world were prospective in their passion.
It was only directly a close reading and coding of test transcripts, as well as our own lived experience in the sphere of conversations with participants in the growing world, that the connection became simple to us. Whilst simple, we explored the pattern using quantitative methods.
Our goal is that our research and documentary "North of Customary" will be effective in communicating stimulating research end result to a wide crowd directly demonstrative stories from people involvement the world, in addition to inhabitants who are inaccessible to amount in standard psychology research.
The epitome is the first prodigy of the inaugural Western Concrete Psychology Syndicate Crack, which in the same way includes a hang loose of the 80th wedding anniversary of our advisor and positive psychology co-Founder Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. The prodigy will give rise to addresses by Trainer Csikszentmihalyi and previous world recognized speakers in addition to Martin Seligman and Antonella Delle Fave.
Angela and I, with the help of our awe-inspiring editor, Eduardo Gonzales from Pitzer Educational have available shaped and reduced the direct from proceed to end. Perhaps our greatest convincing personal lesson from the project is that not sophisticated how to do everything on day 1 is never a good plenty gossip to stop you from accomplishing your thoughts.
