近年来，研究者越来越关注积极心理学结构及其与健康结果的关系，如发病率、死亡率和对疾病的适应。关于其中一些概念和模型的数据库有了明显的增长，但是在这个领域的工作一直受到争议。目的：本系列论文提供了积极心理学与健康研究的不同视角。支持者和批评者都被邀请回顾最近在肿瘤学文献和更广泛的健康研究中评估的一些积极结构的发展。方法论文以辩论形式提出。一组研究者Lisa G. Aspinwall博士和Richard G. Tedeschi博士回顾了重大进展，而另一组研究者Lisa G. Aspinwall博士和Richard G. Tedeschi博士则强调了缺点和担忧。詹姆斯·c·科因和霍华德·坦南。每一篇评论论文之后都有对方的反驳。Sherri Sheinfeld Gorin博士对这次交流进行了评论。这些论文讨论了一系列重要的考虑因素，包括构造的概念化、方法的严谨性、发现的传播以及对实践的影响。随着该领域的不断发展，这些论文中提出的批评和建议可能有助于为该领域的未来努力提供信息。
BackgroundIn recent years, investigators have focused increased attention on positive psychology constructs and their associations with health outcomes, such as morbidity, mortality, and adaptation to illness. The database regarding some of these concepts and models has grown appreciably, but work in this area has been subject to controversy.PurposeThis special series of papers offers contrasting perspectives regarding research on positive psychology and health. Both proponents and critics were invited to review recent developments concerning a number of positive constructs that have been evaluated in the oncology literature and in health research, more generally.MethodsPapers are presented in the format of a debate. Significant advances are reviewed by one set of investigators, Drs, Lisa G. Aspinwall and Richard G. Tedeschi, while shortcomings and concerns are highlighted by another set of investigators, Drs. James C. Coyne and Howard Tennen. Each of these review papers is followed by a rebuttal by the opposing side. A commentary on the exchange is provided by Dr. Sherri Sheinfeld Gorin.ResultsThese papers address a range of important considerations regarding conceptualization of constructs, methodological rigor, dissemination of findings, and implications for practice.ConclusionThe critiques and recommendations offered in these papers may help inform future efforts in this area, as the field continues to evolve.
