Summary

Positive psychology interventions use positive psychology techniques to identify meaning and value in life events to raise positive feelings and emotions. Application of PPIs has steadily increased in clinical and non-clinical samples. However, that meta-analysis did not include any study in a Chinese population, and it remains unclear whether PPIs are applicable in the Hong Kong Chinese context.
