Abstract
Since the 1990s, researchers have explored “how and why humans thrive or flourish and... consider[ed] whether traits indicative of thriving or flourishing may themselves influence physical well-being” (p 401–402).1 This is an adjustment from the longstanding deficits approach focused on the negative polarity defined by social problems, psychopathology, and deviant behavior. Its ascendancy is seen in research on positive psychology and prosocial behavior, and it has left its mark in preventive medicine and public health, indicated by proposals for a positive approach to epidemiology.
