Assignment

Imagine that you are teaching an undergraduate course on positive psychology at a local community college. Prepare a lecture explaining how happiness is measured

and defined by positive psychologists and how happiness relates to well-being and positive emotions. Be sure to address at least the following points in your lecture:

1. Define and differentiate hedonic and eudemonic happiness.

2. Note at least two reliable measures for each type of happiness.

3. Explain the relationship between well-being and each type of happiness.

4. How are positive emotions related to happiness in general and to these specific types of happiness?

5.What is the evidence based relationship between positive emotions and actions?

NOTE: Support your lecture with reference to three research articles published in peer reviewed journals within the past 5 years. In addition to these specified

resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

In addition to a written transcript of your lecture, you may also upload your lecture as an audio file to receive feedback from your instructor on your lecture

style.

In an effort to make your lecture engaging, you may depart from usual writing form and organization by choosing to use anecdotes, humor, or other speaking tools;

be sure however, to cite your sources appropriately in the print version of the lecture that you submit and submit a list of references.
