Positive emotions have attracted increased scientific attention in the past decade but looking at positive emotions as outcomes is just the beginning. In large, well-controlled studies, positive emotions have been found to contribute to many different life outcomes, as well as increased cognitive and social functions. The «broaden-and-build» theory of positive emotions encompasses this variety of empirical results, and this chapter uses this theory as a framework for organizing and interrelating past findings and current questions about positive emotions and their link with subjective wellbeing.

Negli ultimi venti anni le emozioni positive hanno ricevuto molta attenzione dalla ricerca tuttavia lo studio degli effetti e delle funzioni specifiche delle emozioni positive è ancora al suo inizio. L’articolo presenta una sintesi degli studi sperimentali che iniziano a porre in evidenza specifiche tendenze all’azione delle emozioni positive e documentano interessanti funzioni di potenziamento delle risorse cognitive e sociali. Il riferimento alla broaden-and-build theory consente infine di sintetizzare e organizzare tali studi e di definire le relazioni tra emozioni positive e benessere soggettivo.

Abstract

Positive emotions have attracted increased scientific attention in the past decade but looking at positive emotions as outcomes is just the beginning. In large, well-controlled studies, positive emotions have been found to contribute to many different life outcomes, as well as increased cognitive and social functions. The «broaden-and-build» theory of positive emotions encompasses this variety of empirical results, and this chapter uses this theory as a framework for organizing and interrelating past findings and current questions about positive emotions and their link with subjective wellbeing.
