Art-of-LivingInterventions to Enhance Art-of-Living

Art-of-Living: Interventions to Enhance Art-of-Living [The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate that art-of-living can be changed by training the individual components. In the introduction we referred to meta-analyses with respect to positive psychology interventions and argued that the “how” and “what” of interventions deserve considerations. The “how” deals with the delivery “for whom”, follow-up studies, and support of the transfer of the intervention, the “what” emphasizes that combinations of single interventions were needed. We derive our interventions from the art-of-living model and the needs of the respective sample. All studies aim at special target groups, we train university students, students in school and employees. The studies have different foci. One study especially invests special combinations of training contents, body related and cognitive interventions. Study 2 deals with the fit of person and kind of treatment. The other studies tested a work-based intervention and a web-based intervention. The person-intervention-fit study compares different kinds of assignments of art-of-living strategies to individuals. It could be shown that not the self-selection let to optimal results but the assignment with respect to deficits of the subjects in the pretest was successful. The comparison of the different interventions found both training variants similar effective. The work-based training and the web-training both could change important art-of-living aspects. All trainings could prove that it is possible to enhance art-of-living components or overall art-of-living by short interventions.

Abstract

[The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate that art-of-living can be changed by training the individual components. In the introduction we referred to meta-analyses with respect to positive psychology interventions and argued that the “how” and “what” of interventions deserve considerations. The “how” deals with the delivery “for whom”, follow-up studies, and support of the transfer of the intervention, the “what” emphasizes that combinations of single interventions were needed. We derive our interventions from the art-of-living model and the needs of the respective sample. All studies aim at special target groups, we train university students, students in school and employees. The studies have different foci. One study especially invests special combinations of training contents, body related and cognitive interventions. Study 2 deals with the fit of person and kind of treatment. The other studies tested a work-based intervention and a web-based intervention. The person-intervention-fit study compares different kinds of assignments of art-of-living strategies to individuals. It could be shown that not the self-selection let to optimal results but the assignment with respect to deficits of the subjects in the pretest was successful. The comparison of the different interventions found both training variants similar effective. The work-based training and the web-training both could change important art-of-living aspects. All trainings could prove that it is possible to enhance art-of-living components or overall art-of-living by short interventions. Some follow-up testings could show that the enhancement of art-of-living by the trainings was either stable or further enhanced from the post- to the follow-up- testing.]
