** High Priority ** Check the APA presidential address (2000) by Seligman where he gives a pretty good synopsis of positive psychologyl. In addition if you just type positve psychology on any search engine-google--you will get a general sense of positive psychology.

Some of its proponents probably believe that they are against "negative reinforcement," but they might be confused about what that is. Maybe it is the opposite of "reverse psychology." Instead of trying to confuse people with passive-aggressive games, you just tell them what you want them to do. It is very likely that Wundt or Pavlov or Titchner mentioned it somewhere.
