About this issue
People face positive and negative events over the course of their lives. Both can influence their lives accordingly, depending on how an individual adjusts to these situations. To overcome negative events, one can use positive emotions as a way of buffering the negative effects of daily hassles. In the present investigation a sample of 30 respondents, dividend into three groups were taken. Group I counted their blessings weekly; Group II counted their daily hassles, while Group III comprised the control group participants. Before the investigation started, General Health Questionnaire was administered to all the participants, which measures four aspects of health, viz., somatic symptoms, anxiety/insomnia, social dysfunction and severe depression. The participants were randomly assigned to the three groups. After four weeks, General Health Questionnaire was re-administered. Pre- and post-treatment results were analysed to compare the effects of positive versus negative emotions on health.
