Positive Psychology Practice Test

Positive psychology as cure: focusing on strengths instead of seeking trauma-focused treatment when symptoms significantly impair functioning.

Post-traumatic growth: positive psychological change following struggle with adversity, such as new meaning, priorities, or improved relationships.

Flow: absorption when challenge matches skill, producing effortless focus; it does not describe long-term growth after trauma.

Positive emotion (PERMA): increased momentary happiness and amusement, without necessarily involving major life reassessment after adversity.
