Andrew Gonzales Hall, College of Education, De La Salle University, 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila. Email: nino.mateo@dlsu.edu.ph One of the primary contributions of literature on positive psychology is providing strong evidence for the link between happiness and success (Lyubomirsky, King, & Diener, 2005). Happy individuals evaluate their life as satisfying, report an overall sense of well-being, and are oriented towards personal growth and goal attainment. The study tested the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions (Fredrickson, 1998; 2003) in the field of counseling practice. The researchers hypothesized that counselors’ life satisfaction would predict outcomes relevant in practice: counseling self-efficacy, emotional awareness, and flow state. Participants (n = 137) completed measures of counseling self-efficacy, flow state, life satisfaction, and emotional awareness. Age, gender, civil status, and degree earned were identified as covariates and their effects were controlled in the regression analyses. Findings revealed that life satisfaction positively predicted flow state and emotional awareness. Counselors who expressed greater satisfaction with their lives seem to see the counseling experience as rewarding and are more attuned to their emotions. This finding is consistent with the key postulate of broaden-and-build theory on the beneficial consequences of positive affect on psychological resources.","PeriodicalId":90678,"journal":{"name":"Philippine journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46062508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Email: jet.uy.buenconsejo@gmail.com. Developmental systems theories have linked religiosity and spirituality with positive youth development (PYD), particularly “thriving”. Thriving involves the identification of one’s deepest interest or passion in life (termed as “spark”) and being nurtured by an environment that supports, encourages, and develops this spark. Considering the need to understand the underlying mechanisms and processes of thriving in culturally, geographically, and racially diverse contexts of religion and spirituality, this study delved into the transcendental experiences of Filipino adolescents. Using the strategies and techniques of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), the researcher interviewed 11 male Filipino Roman Catholics, aged 15 to 20 years old, who were able to identify a religious spark and are active members of a social group that supports their sparks. Results revealed five overarching themes: (a) perception of the nature of spark; (b) family and social groups as providers of guidance and support; (c) religious spark as source of positive experiences; (d) religious spark as source of negative experiences; and (e) compromises and adjustments amidst constancy of spark. Transcendence together with unconditional familial acceptance and appreciation have been found to be very crucial and salient in facilitating thriving. Theoretical and practical implications in promoting PYD are discussed.","PeriodicalId":90678,"journal":{"name":"Philippine journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48250396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of these investigations have focused on expanding the science of positive traits, states, and institutions in Western cultural contexts. The generalizability and applicability of these Western models have to be scrutinized and reconsidered when they are transported to different cultural settings. There is also a need to come up with emic studies that closely reflect the lived experience of peoples across cultures. In recent years, there has been a burgeoning interest in crosscultural studies that include samples from non-Western cultures including the Philippines (see Church et al., 2014; Kuppens, Realo, & Diener, 2008; McGrath, 2015). There has been some noticeable increase in positive psychology research in Asian cultural contexts (see Caleon, King, et al., 2017; Caleon, Wui, et al., 2017; Duan, Ho, Tang, Li, & Zhang, 2014; Kumano, 2018; Low, King, & Caleon, 2016) including the Philippines (see King & Datu, 2017; Mesurado, Richaud, & Mateo, 2016; Rosopa, Datu, Robertson, & Atkinson, 2016). Given the critical role that sociocultural factors play in shaping well-being and optimal functioning (Steel, Taras, Uggerslev, & Bosco, 2018; Tov & Diener, 2009), it is important to investigate how positive psychological factors can serve as either antecedents or consequences of optimal psychological functioning in specific cultural contexts.

Yet previous studies on the consequences of happiness and well-being have mostly concentrated on examining how a personal construal of happiness optimized positive academic and psychological outcomes. This research explored the association of interdependent happiness with the behavioral as well as the emotional domains of academic engagement and disaffection among 220 Filipino university students enrolled in a private university through a cross-sectional investigation. Results of the hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that interdependent happiness positively predicted behavioral and emotional engagement even after controlling for demographic variables (i.e., age and gender). Interdependent happiness did not predict both behavioral and emotional disaffection. Furthermore, the effect sizes between interdependent happiness and engagement domains ranged from ‘relatively small’ to ‘typical’.
