| description | People by nature tend to experience more positive emotions and less negative emotions. For centuries, philosophers have stated that happiness is the ultimate source of human motivation. Therefore, many individuals think that the more positive emotions they experience, the happier they will be, and they strive for it. Many different situations such as socioeconomic level, educational status, gender, culture affect the level of happiness of individuals, but the desire to be happy is present in every segment. The endless pursuit of happiness can often lead to unrealistic expectations and some psychological problems in the face of life events. The increase in positive emotions can open up more space for the person to learn, think and develop together with happiness. However, positive emotions do not consist of happiness, but there are also different emotions that contribute to happiness and nourish the person. The positive emotions experienced by the person in daily life are important in terms of better performance and healthier relationships. In this respect, when we look at the literature on this subject, it has been seen that there is a gap in the studies conducted in Turkey. Emotions are important determinants of behavior. Any risky behavior that may arise can be harmful to both the individual and the society. Emotion regulation also affects behavior positively. For this purpose, the aim of this study is to deal with positive emotions, which have not been discussed before, in a theoretical dimension, to adapt these emotions to daily life, to increase the resources that the person has and to convey their reflections on the lifestyle. |
