How to Flourish during the Menopausal Transition
Each year, at least 25 million women worldwide experience menopause, yet the potential for flourishing during this period remains underexplored. Flourishing, understood here as optimal emotional, social and psychological wellbeing, was used as the conceptual framework for synthesizing findings. This scoping review analyzed 181 longitudinal, experimental, cross-sectional and qualitative studies from four electronic databases. Only 39 studies prima…
Enhancing mental wellbeing by changing mindsets? Results from two randomized controlled trials
Improving mental wellbeing is often targeted with behavioral interventions, while mindset interventions might be more appealing as they require less time and effort. In addition to recent experimental studies demonstrating that attributional beliefs can be changed to improve emotional wellbeing and performance, the current study examines whether a positive change in people's beliefs about stress and life philosophy enhances emotional, social and …
An accidental discovery of scientific fraud

Promoting Gratitude as a Resource for Sustainable Mental Health
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of a 6-week gratitude intervention for people with low to moderate well-being and moderate symptomatology of depression and anxiety up to 6 months follow-up. 217 Dutch adults were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a 6-week gratitude intervention, a 6-week self-kindness intervention as an active control condition and a waitlist control condition. Participants completed online asse…
The Efficacy of Multi-component Positive Psychology Interventions
What Factors are Associated with Flourishing? Results from a Large Representative National Sample
Flourishing is the ultimate end-state in psychology and a key-concept in the field of positive psychology research. Flourishers are those individuals with both high levels of hedonic well-being and eudaimonic well-being. Although many researchers have focused on one or another of these domains, only a few have investigated the comprehensive state of flourishing. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of flourishing and its associ…
Validation of the Flourishing Scale in a sample of people with suboptimal levels of mental well-being
The FS seems a reliable and valid instrument for measuring social-psychological functioning in adults with suboptimal well-being, but its use in intervention studies and clinical practice might be debatable. Therefore, the FS seems most suitable to include in epidemiological studies alongside existing hedonic measures to more fully capture mental well-being. Future research should examine the temporal stability of the FS and the consequences of t…
