Prioritizing positivity: An effective approach to pursuing happiness?": Correction to Catalino, Algoe, & Fredrickson (2014). Reports an error in "Prioritizing positivity: An effective approach to pursuing happiness" by Lahnna I. Catalino, Sara B. Algoe and Barbara L. Fredrickson (Emotion, 2014[Dec], Vol 14[6], 1155-1161). In the article, there was an error in the first paragraph of the Materials subsection, "Prioritizing positivity." from the Method section. The first paragraph, the 11th line should have read, "Because four of the items were negatively skewed, the items were transformed by squaring them (Kline, 1998)." (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2014-48826-003.) [Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 15(2) of Emotion (see record 2015-12998-001). There was an error in Table 2 of the Results. There was a negative sign added to .51 in Table 2. The corrected table is shown in the erratum.] A decade of research reveals the benefits of positive emotions for mental and physical health; however, recent empirical work suggests the explicit pursuit of happiness may backfire. The present study hypothesized that the pursuit of happiness is not inherently self-defeating; in particular, individuals who seek positivity, as exemplified by how they make decisions about how to organize their day-to-day lives, may be happier. This individual difference is labeled prioritizing positivity. In a community sample of young to older adults (N = 233), prioritizing positivity predicted a host of well-being outcomes (positive emotions, depressive symptomology). In addition, people high in prioritizing positivity have greater resources, and these links are explained by more frequent experiences of positive emotions. In sum, the present study suggests that seeking happiness, although a delicate art, may be a worthwhile pursuit. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved).
