The reason why we need positive psychologyis to shift the pendulum from the 21:1 ratio that we have today:
我们需要积极心理学是为了改变现在的21比1这个比率
For every one study on depression oranxiety, we have 21 studies on sorry,
每有一项关于抑郁或焦虑的研究就有21项对不起
For one study on happiness or wellbeing, wehave 21 studies on depression and anxiety.
应该是每有一项关于快乐或幸福的研究就有21项关于抑郁或焦虑的研究
We want to shift the pendulum slightly. AndI mentioned three reason
我们想稍微改变这个比率我提过三个原因
Why we want to shift this pendulum despitethe fact that there are rising levels of depression around the world,
关于为什么要改变这个比率尽管世界上越来越多人抑郁
That anxiety has become epidemic globallyon college campuses in United States, China, Australia, UK.
而焦虑就像是全球性流行病遍布美国中国 澳大利亚 英国所有大学
Despite that fact, I argue that we need toshift the pendulum and do more positive research , or in other words,
尽管如此我还是认为我们该改变那比率做更多积极研究 或者说
Research that focuses on what works. Andthe reason is
集中研究可行的事原因在于
The first reason that we gave and we arejust finishing up is because the question that we ask,
我们之前讨论完的第一个原因是我们提出的问题很重要
Whether it's the research questions that weask, or the questions that we ask of ourselves,
无论它是不是我们的研究问题或我们为自己所问的
Or our partners, matter. And if our onlyquestions,
或为我们的伴侣问的如果我们只问同一类问题
Or primarily our questions are what is notworking? What is the problem?
或只是问有哪些不如意的事?出什么问题了?
Why are so many kids failing as a result oftheir circumstances? If we only ask these questions,
为什么那么多孩子因为成长环境而堕落? 如果我们只问了这些问题
We will miss, literally miss an importantpart of reality, just like you missed the children on the bus in the exercise.
就会错过现实中很重要的部分像你们在练习中没看到公车上的孩子一样
