A Multiskill, 5-Week, Online Positive Emotions Training for Student Well-Being
Hamdani, Maria
Journal of Management Education, v45 n1 p86-125 Feb 2021
The aim of this 5-week Positive Emotions Project (PEP) is to teach students simple emotional well-being techniques in an online course. I adapted a clinical intervention that Moskowitz et al. developed for chronically ill patients. The adapted training proved to be effective for academic purposes. In this instructional innovation article, I provide detailed instructional materials, and explain how to set up and conduct the training. Students read simple instructions at the start of every week, for 5 consecutive weeks. Each week focuses on one or two new techniques. I collected data and present evidence of effectiveness. A secondary take-away from the study is to use multiskill interventions, since not all the eight techniques taught through PEP were endorsed equally for future use; feeling gratitude, setting attainable goals, acts of kindness, savoring positive events, and self-affirmation were the most popular PEP skills, whereas mindfulness was the least popular.
