Joy: An introduction to this special issue

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Joy has been curiously omitted from the purview of Positive Psychology. I present an overview and introduction of the articles appearing in The Journal of Positive Psychology’s special issue on Joy. I describe the purpose of this special issue and articulate why greater attention to joy is warranted within the field of Positive Psychology.
