Abstract

Research in the area of Positive Psychology typically investigates positive psychological interventions and their impact on the lives of participants, positive psychology as an approach to enhance the lives of participants, or investigations of particular populations in search of evidence of flourishing. This paper presents a research process of embodied, creative engagement to facilitate the exploration of research phenomena within community contexts. Entitled Spiralling Engagement Experiences of Creativity (SEEC), the process adapts concepts from Poetic Inquiry as the basis for exploring a phenomenon and extending participants’ engagement with that phenomenon through the facilitation of creative activities. This pilot study focused on the phenomenon of flourishing, using preliminary participant conversations to generate poetry/lyrics that tell individual, personal stories. Participants repeatedly engaged with their own positive personal stories to create an artwork that they could use to remind themselves of ways to interpret their lives. The benefit of this research process is that it prioritises participants making sense of their own lives in creative ways while exploring a phenomenon of interest. The SEEC process has the potential for use in varied contexts where the intersection of a deliberate research and arts-making framework would be helpful for exploring a phenomenon of inquiry.

创造性参与体验（SEEC）：以研究为先导的艺术创作过程，促进参与者体验蓬勃发展的生活

积极心理学领域的研究通常调查积极的心理干预措施及其对参与者生活的影响、积极心理学作为改善参与者生活的一种方法，或者调查特定人群以寻找蓬勃发展的证据。本文介绍了一种体现性、创造性参与的研究过程，以促进在社区背景下对研究现象的探索。该过程名为 "创造性的螺旋式参与体验"（SEEC），它采用了 "诗意探索"（Poetic Inquiry）的概念，将其作为探索现象的基础，并通过促进创造性活动来扩大参与者对该现象的参与。这项试点研究侧重于蓬勃发展的现象，利用参与者的初步对话来创作诗歌/歌曲，讲述个人的故事。参与者反复参与自己积极的个人故事，创作出一件艺术品，用来提醒自己以何种方式诠释自己的生活。这一研究过程的好处在于，它优先考虑参与者在探索感兴趣的现象的同时，以创造性的方式理解自己的生活。SEEC 流程有可能在各种情况下使用，在这些情况下，深思熟虑的研究和艺术创作框架的交叉将有助于探索调查现象。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
