Abstract
Research in positive psychology has focused on either (1) positive emotions, (2) happiness or subjective well-being, or (3) character strengths or virtues. This chapter emphasizes viewing it more in terms of eudaimonic virtue (for self and other). Positive psychology and the psychology of religion and spirituality are joined by studying virtue, morality, subjective well-being, and positive emotion. We find the psychology of religion and spirituality and positive psychology to be potentially kindred spirits similarly aimed at studying virtue, and thus we expect that the future will hold a growing positive relationship characterized by two-sided dialogue. Psychologists in both positive psychology and the psychology of religion and spirituality have different perspectives, and the overlap and differences in their views of concepts and measurements should contribute to that dialogue.
