 would help in enhancing the positive affect leading to ultimate happiness in each and
 every stratum of the society specifically among adolescents. Positive Psychological
 Interventions (PPIs) such as mindfulness, savoring, gratitude, kindness, empathy,
 meaning, flow exercises etc. are being applied to generate positive feelings and to
 attain the goal of sustainable happiness and well-being. Savoring is believed to be one
 such strategy in positive psychology which has shown promising effects in enhancing
 happiness, positive affect and reducing negative affect. The present study comprising
 of 300 (N=300) adolescents from the state of Haryana (India) made an attempt to
 explore relationship between savoring, happiness, positive affect and negative affect.
 Savoring Beliefs Inventory by Bryant (2003), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire by Hills
 & Argyle (2002) and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule by Watson et al. (1988)
 were applied to measure the variables. Savoring emerged as a significant correlate
 and predictor of happiness and positive affect among adolescents
