Editorial: Positive Psychological Assessments: Modern Approaches, Methodologies, Models and Guidelines: Current perspectives

Sparked by evidence showing that positive psychological approaches and practices not only foster flourishing but also help to reduce mental illness, maintain mental health, and strengthen one's psychological resources and capacities (Waters et al., 2022), positive psychology interventions and coaching have emerged as popular approaches for practitioners interested in the development and wellbeing of people (Lomas, 2020; Moskowitz et al., 2021; Richter et al., 2021). Indeed, bourgeoning evidence for the social, behavioral, and physical health benefits of positive psychology constructs (Donaldson et al., 2021; Moskowitz et al., 2021) has led to an increasing influence of positive psychology underpinning practice (Green and Palmer, 2019), with significant growth of the use of positive psychological assessment measures (PPAMs).
