Flourishing is a relatively new concept in positive psychology that considers hedonic and eudaimonic aspects of well-being. Although great emphasis has been placed on stress and burnout among school teachers, little attention has been given to these teachers' well-being. Savoring can be defined as an individual's strategy for directing their attention to positive experiences and regulating their positive feelings in response to positive events. Savoring is an effective regulation tactic characterized by the ability to focus on and exert control over the development, intensification, and sustainment of positive emotions. Bryant and Veroff (2007) proposed several cognitive and behavioral savoring strategies that are effective in enhancing and prolonging positive experiences, including sharing the experience with others (seeking out people with whom one can enjoy an event or report one's appreciation of the moment), behavioral expression (laughing or emoting), counting blessings (cultivating gratitude), self-congratulation (cultivating pride), memory building (purposefully attempting to remember the positive event), and sensory-perceptual sharpening (focusing on the physical sensations of a pleasant experience). Chen and Yu (2018) reviewed this study and proposed that a flourishing life is one that involves mercifulness (blessing positive emotions ), playfulness (blessing engagement), peacefulness (blessing identifying meaning), respectfulness (blessing competent requirements), and cheerfulness (blessing an optimistic attitude). The main purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among beliefs about savoring, the capacity to savor, and a flourishing life in junior high school special and general education teachers. |
