1. John is a 35-year-old accountant who has been feeling
stressed and unhappy at work. He decides to enroll in a
positive psychology course to learn some strategies to
improve his well-being. One of the topics covered in the
course is the PERMA model, which stands for positive
emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and
accomplishment. According to this model, which of the
following activities would be most beneficial for John to
practice regularly?
a) Keeping a gratitude journal to record the positive aspects
of his life
b) Finding a hobby that challenges his skills and interests
c) Volunteering at a local charity that aligns with his values
d) Setting and pursuing SMART goals that are specific,
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound
*Answer: d) Setting and pursuing SMART goals that are
specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timebound*
Rationale: According to the PERMA model,
accomplishment is one of the five elements of well-being
that can be enhanced by setting and pursuing goals that are
challenging but attainable. This can increase John's sense
of self-efficacy, mastery, and satisfaction. While the other
options are also beneficial for well-being, they are more
related to the other elements of the PERMA model, such as
positive emotions (a), engagement (b), and meaning (c).
