Negli ultimi venti anni le emozioni positive hanno ricevuto molta attenzione dalla ricerca tuttavia lo studio degli effetti e delle funzioni specifiche delle emozioni positive e ancora al suo inizio. L’articolo presenta una sintesi degli studi sperimentali che iniziano a porre in evidenza specifiche tendenze all’azione delle emozioni positive e documentano interessanti funzioni di potenziamento delle risorse cognitive e sociali. Il riferimento alla broaden-and-build theory consente infine di sintetizzare e organizzare tali studi e di definire le relazioni tra emozioni positive e benessere soggettivo.;
