The reason why we need positive psychologyis to shift the pendulum from the 21:1 ratio that we have today:
我們需要積極心理學是為了改變現在的21比1這個比率
For every one study on depression oranxiety, we have 21 studies on sorry,
每有一項關于抑郁或焦慮的研究就有21項對不起
For one study on happiness or wellbeing, wehave 21 studies on depression and anxiety.
應該是每有一項關于快樂或幸福的研究就有21項關于抑郁或焦慮的研究
We want to shift the pendulum slightly. AndI mentioned three reason
我們想稍微改變這個比率我提過三個原因
Why we want to shift this pendulum despitethe fact that there are rising levels of depression around the world,
關于為什么要改變這個比率盡管世界上越來越多人抑郁
That anxiety has become epidemic globallyon college campuses in United States, China, Australia, UK.
而焦慮就像是全球性流行病遍布美國中國 澳大利亞 英國所有大學
Despite that fact, I argue that we need toshift the pendulum and do more positive research , or in other words,
盡管如此我還是認為我們該改變那比率做更多積極研究 或者說
Research that focuses on what works. Andthe reason is
集中研究可行的事原因在于
The first reason that we gave and we arejust finishing up is because the question that we ask,
我們之前討論完的第一個原因是我們提出的問題很重要
Whether it's the research questions that weask, or the questions that we ask of ourselves,
無論它是不是我們的研究問題或我們為自己所問的
Or our partners, matter. And if our onlyquestions,
或為我們的伴侶問的如果我們只問同一類問題
Or primarily our questions are what is notworking? What is the problem?
或只是問有哪些不如意的事?出什么問題了?
Why are so many kids failing as a result oftheir circumstances? If we only ask these questions,
為什么那么多孩子因為成長環境而墮落? 如果我們只問了這些問題
We will miss, literally miss an importantpart of reality, just like you missed the children on the bus in the exercise.
就會錯過現實中很重要的部分像你們在練習中沒看到公車上的孩子一樣
