Psychology Theory

The aim of the coursework is to create a 15-minute oral presentation whereby you will propose an evidence-based positive psychology intervention using positive psychology theory. You will:
review the key literature and based on critical evaluation
choose either a setting, population, behavior or problem and a positive psychology intervention where more research is needed.
propose an appropriate evidence-based positive psychology intervention based on previous research.
This assessment will enable you to explore and critically evaluate positive psychology theory and interventions, which can be applied to practice within a variety of contexts. The presentation should contain the following elements (you are writing for an academic audience):

Title Slide (1 Slide)
present your proposed positive psychology interventiontitle, module title, and student number.
