Character Strengths, Health, Well-being and Autonomous Learning in New Students

Overview

This project aims to use measures and techniques from Positive Psychology to develop student confidence to facilitate their development as autonomous learners. This will be accomplished through increasing student self-esteem by assessing character strengths of first year psychology students and providing them with feedback and information about how these strengths can contribute to developing their learning skills. The end result of this will be a package allowing an individual to assess student strengths and replicate the positive effect of increased student confidence on learner autonomy.
