- W916161541 abstract "Abstract We undertake Haidt’s (2003) recommendation to positive psychology researchers to look to other cultures and eras for guidance in understanding some of Peterson and Seligman’s “ubiquitous, if not universal, virtues” (2004, p. 33). We propose that religion is a fertile ground for study by positive psychologists, and may be one area where “com-mon denominators” or mechanisms of producing character strengths and virtues may be unearthed through more systematic study. To demonstrate this, we pose hypothetical relationships between Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism and the character strengths of transcendence and justice (as typed by Peterson and Seligman, 2004), directly linking theological and cultural beliefs to the development of transcendence and justice. In so doing, we hope to open up new channels of communication between researchers in positive psychology and the psychology of religion.KEY WORDS: religion, positive psychology, transcendence, justice As positive psychology begins to defi ne itself as a burgeoning fi eld of study, researchers must carefully consider which sources to consult. Haidt (2003) provides four recommendations to positive psychology researchers if they are to be successful in contributing to a reappraisal of the discipline’s subject matter: (a) begin with positive emotions, (b) look to other cultures and eras for guidance, (c) apply what is learned for the common good, and (d) examine peak experiences and moral transformations. Haidt’s second recommendation suggests that there is not just one kind of fl ourishing and if psychology is to not repeat its mistakes from eras past, then we should recognize different cultural understandings and infl uences on human potential. Perhaps there is no better place to begin than to study the religious traditions that refl ect and help shape a cultural perspective on human fl ourishing. Despite differences in epistemic claims and methodologies, a scientifi c positive psychology overlaps considerably with religion and spirituality in that both are concerned with virtue and successful living (Seligman, 2003)" @default.
