Abstract

Fredrickson and Losada(2005) have recently found that the positive (PA) to negative (NA) affect ratio of 2.9 or more is predictive of human flourishing. Potential cultural and individual differences of this phenomenon was examined among 143 Korean college students across three time periods. Three findings emerged. First, the positive to negative affect ratio of 2.45, instead of 2.9, was found among the flourishing group in this East Asian sample. Second, self-construal moderated the relation between PA, NA, and flourishing. PA was a better predictor of flourishing than NA among those with a salient independent self, whereas a reverse pattern occurred among those with a strong interdependent self. Finally, the longitudinal analyses suggested that reciprocal enhancement takes place between positivity ratio and flourishing over the course of 4 weeks.
