Embracing Well-Being in Diverse African Contexts: Research Perspectives Paperback / softback
Edited by Lusilda Schutte, Tharina Guse, Marie P. Wissing
Part of the Cross-Cultural Advancements in Positive Psychology series
Paperback / softback
Description
This is the first volume providing a research platform to showcase research in the field of positive psychology and well-being science in African contexts.
Next to enhancing context-sensitive theory and practice on the African continent, it also contributes to the global discourse in positive psychology and facilitates the development of a science that reflects and is relevant to complexity and diversity in a globalising society.
This volume brings together work from African scholars, featuring research on theoretical perspectives on well-being in Africa, measurement of well-being in Africa, manifestations and dynamics of well-being in Africa, and well-being promotion in Africa.
It stimulates further research in positive psychology and well-being science in the African context and globally, and emphasises the interconnectedness and situatedness of human functioning and well-being, contributing to a more balanced perspective on well-being in an international perspective. The volume benefits researchers, students and practitioners in Africa and other international contexts who study or apply the science of positive psychology and well-being in diverse contexts.
