Gradišek, Polona (author)

Character strengths represent an important research topic in the area of positive psychology. They are defined as positive individual traits that are morally valued. Research on general population samples has shown numerous beneficial outcomes of individuals’ knowing their character strengths and using them in their everyday lives. As teachers have an important impact on learning and on personal development of their students, teachers’ character strengths were examined in a classroom context. The research sample consisted of 408 primary and secondary school teachers (80.8 % female) and 1151 students (53.3 % female) from 39 schools across Slovenia.
