Cross-Cultural Advancements in Positive Psychology Volume 2 Series Editor: ANTONELLA DELLE FAVE Università degli studi di Milano, Italy
Editorial Board: MARTIN E.P. SELIGMAN Positive Psychology Center, University of Pennsylvania, USA MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI Quality of Life Research Center, Claremont Graduate University, USA BARBARA L. FREDRICKSON University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

The aim of the Cross Cultural Advancements in Positive Psychology book series is to spread a universal and culture-fair perspective on good life promotion. The series will advance a deeper understanding of the cross-cultural differences in well-being conceptualization. A deeper understanding can affect psychological theories, interventions and social policies in various domains, from health to education, from work to leisure. Books in the series will investigate such issues as enhanced mobility of people across nations, ethnic conflicts and the challenges faced by traditional communities due to the pervasive spreading of modernization trends. New instruments and models will be proposed to identify the crucial components of well-being in the process of acculturation. This series will also explore dimensions and components of happiness that are currently overlooked because happiness research is grounded in the Western tradition, and these dimensions do not belong to the Western cultural frame of mind and values.
