Motivation, optimism, attitude, quality of life, and self-efficacy (self-confidence/self-belief) are some.<br /> Self-efficacy (masters topic for me) particularly useful in understanding whether people will or will not succeed in learning/undertaking health care tasks.<br /> Human behaviour and influences are fascinating! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/happiness-and-gratitude#post-291969 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 19:27:30 +0000 happijar 291969@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Hi there Fry-Fans! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; Just lately I have been researching the science of gratitude. Yes there is a science for happiness. Cool eh?</p> <p>I decided to check it out because I have always been a bit of an optimist and &#39;go things done&#39;. I wanted to know what made ppl like us tick and is there anything I could share as a result.</p> <p>I&#39;d be grateful to hear your stories and ideas on this topic &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>Many many thanks. </p>
