Introduction to the Growth Resources Model
Keywords:
resources, autonomy, belonging, emotions, well-beingAbstract
This paper presents an outline of a new theoretical concept. The Growth Resources Model was designed to grasp the key psychosocial resources that help us develop and flourish. The model consists of three major components: positive autonomy, positive belonging, and positive emotionality. Positive autonomy is defined as a set of an individual’s key psychosocial resources allowing them to cope with reality in a constructive way and to achieve important goals. Positive belonging is defined as a set of key psychosocial resources allowing an individual to build and sustain constructive and satisfactory relations with other people. Finally, positive emotionality is indicated by a dominance of positive (pleasant) emotions over negative (unpleasant) emotions in our personal, subjective experience. The theoretical and empirical background of the model, and its major theoretical assumptions are discussed.References
