21st World Congress on Positive Psychology and Behavioral Science 2017 (WPBS 2017)

Mind is highly complex and enigmatic. According to study psychology lies at the crossroads of other disciplines, like anthropology, sociology, medicine, linguistics, biology, artificial intelligence, and even history. As neuropsychology - which looks at how different brain areas are involved in memory, language, emotions, it overlaps with biology and medicine. Generally psychology is the study of the human mind and its functions, especially that affecting behaviour in given context. The primary focus of psychology is treating abnormal behavior and mental illness. Scientific methodology reveals developing theories that focused on happiness and the positive aspects of human nature.

Positive Psychology is the study of human flourishing and an applied approach to optimal functioning. It has also been defined as the study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals, communities and organisations to thrive and flourish. It does not seek to deny the importance of studying how things go wrong, but rather to emphasize on the scientific  study methods to determine how things  to go right. This is mainly connected with three issues: positive emotions, positive individual traits, and positive institutions. This is a growing field: daily contributions from the academicians and researcher are very intriguing.

There are two methods for determining positive psychology; one is Neuroscientific approach whereas the other one is evolutionary approach. Positive psychology has proven itself on the quantitative and informative side of science, aligning with a reductionist, quantitative approach and claiming this as far different and ahead to the anti-scientific methods. Initially it was thought as a way to advance well-being and optimal functioning in healthy people, positive psychology techniques are now being considered as a complement to more traditional forms of therapy. 

Three ranges identifying with positive brain science are considered to be specific Cross-Cultural issues, its Philosophy and the adequacy of Psychotherapeutic Interventions. Its  blend of logical reductionism, with prescriptive propensities are fairly insightfully incongruent.

Behavioural Science includes research and methods from various disciplines like a bit of psychology, neuroscience, a bit of sociology, behavioural economics along with other disciplines. Behavioural science includes two broad categories like neural information science and social relational science. It’s broadly involved with human dimension of work, thus behavioral science holds greater significance to business management. Behavioral health software enables behavioral health professionals to choose the best treatment plan for a person suffering from depression, stress, anxiety, addiction related issues etc.   

Behavioral researchers have created preventive intercessions for each phase of life beginning from the pre-birth period through youthfulness. The usage of the tasks, arrangements, and practices that behavioural researchers have created can have critical advantage for a huge number of Americans.
