In this blog post I'm choosing to revise the findings section of my research project. During class on Tuesday we broke up into our teams and each read over our research and finding sections in our project. After going over my findings section I found that this section was lacking specific journal entries and wasn't showing how the three good things process impacted me. Here is my readvised findings section.
Findings Martin Seligman’s three good things process can positively affect one’s well-being throw affirming positive aspects of their life. From my findings after personally completing the three good things process for three weeks, I would confidently say that this process can positively affect one's well-being. After looking at my October 30th three good things journal entries: 1) I climbed 3000ft in two and a half hours. This went well because I convinced my friend Isaac to do with me, so we could motivate each other to finish the 3000ft. 2) I got a lot of homework done. This went well because I committed to doing at least 4 hours today. 3) I got a really good deal on some nice clothes at a thrift store. This went well because I decided to go to the far thrift store which is cheaper. We can see that Martin Seligman’s three good things process forces one to affirm gratitude in their lives through journaling each night. Which according to Kyeong, Sunghyon academic Journal, "Effects of Gratitude Meditation on Neural Network Functional Connectivity and Brain-Heart Coupling." Affirming gratitude can promote positive mindsets, reduce stress, and positively contribute to mental well-being. Kyeong also states that, “Gratitude has been associated with lower risk of psychiatric disorders, higher life satisfaction, and wisdom.” Before starting the three good things process, I took the “General Happiness Scale” (Authentic Happiness). My results from the general happiness scale are: General Happiness: 5.5, Score Range: 1 to 7 on Oct 30, 2018. After completing the three good things process, I took the general happiness scale again scoring: General Happiness: 6, Score Range: 1 to 7 on Nov 19, 2018. As one can see from this data, my general happiness has gone up by .5 and I feel that I can see a noticeable difference in my well-being. We also can see this positive effect of the three good things process in Martin Seligman’s research. Seligman's data showing that the three good things process was able to improve overall happiness in patients with clinical depression by 2% and most patients that continued the three good things process seen a 5% improvement in happiness after one month, (Seligman 415-420). Seligman's data closely correlates with the improvements I saw in my happiness scale after doing the three good things process for 3 weeks.
