Character Strengths and Virtues

"Character Strengths and Virtues" refers to a framework developed by psychologists Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman, which identifies and categorizes positive traits that contribute to human flourishing and well-being. It outlines 24 strengths, such as courage, kindness, and gratitude, organized under six broader virtues: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. This framework helps individuals understand their strengths, promote personal growth, and enhance relationships, ultimately fostering a more fulfilling life. It serves as a basis for positive psychology, emphasizing the importance of emphasizing what is good in people rather than solely focusing on their weaknesses.
