The overall goal of the SEW lab is to advance positive mental health as a public health priority through methodologically-diverse research. Our research operates at the individual level and the population level, using basic and applied methods.
positive psychology research
positive psychology research
The individual-level line of research focuses on the intersection of personality, motivation, and well-being. We investigate personality-driven processes for selecting, pursuing, and enjoying activities by testing theoretical premises from positive psychology models (e.g., Basic Psychological Need mini-theory, Sustainable Happiness Model, Positive Activity Model). Overall, we're interested in how people can facilitate an upward spiral of well-being benefits to inform activity-based positive psychological interventions. This research relies on statistical analysis of survey data based on open science principles.
mental health promotion research
mental health promotion research
Our population-level research is focused on strengthening mental health promoting conditions across socio-ecological domains (e.g., community, campus, policy) using a public mental health approach. This involves evaluating community mental health promotion programs, assessing mental health-promoting policy, and exploring upstream community practices (e.g., social prescribing). Our applied research relies on implementation science and evidence synthesis methods (e.g., systematic and scoping reviews and meta-analyses).
