Question

PART A: Which of the following identifies Martin Seligman’s main claim in the text?

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Martin Seligman coined the term as well as the concept of 'Positive Psychology.' The concept suggests that people have an innate ability to be happy by focusing on their strengths rather than the possessions and their weaknesses.

He expounded the concept in his book titled "Authentic Happiness.' Seligman believes that happiness is not based on money, luck or, even genes but kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity.

In his book, he concluded that happiness has three dimensions: The Pleasant Life, the Good Life, and the Meaningful Life.

All these dimensions focus on the strengths that people have that can lead to happiness. Thus the correct option is B.
