Palabras clave: Intervenciones positivas, Psicología positiva, Teoría, Investigación empírica, Experiencia,

Resumen

El presente trabajo sigue tres hilos de investigación interconectados -teórico, empírico, y vivencial- para contestar una pregunta fundamental: ¿Qué es una intervención positiva? La primer parte, propone una definición teórica del término “intervención positiva”, y una hipótesis de cómo funcionan las intervenciones positivas. La segunda parte, presenta un sistema de clasificación basado en la investigación empírica, valor relevante para la longevidad de la Psicología Positiva como una disciplina académica. En la tercera parte, dos intervenciones positivas son exploradas vivencialmente, y relacionadas con el modelo teórico propuesto y la clasificación empírica de las intervenciones positivas. El entretejido de estos hilos provee una comprensión más profunda acerca de las intervenciones positivas, lo que permite su aplicación más efectiva y asegura la duración de la Psicología Positiva como un campo de esfuerzo científico previniendo su declinación en una moda pasajera de auto-ayuda.
