Empirical validation of the psychological concept of a perceived feeling of 'energy': Advancement into the study of positive psychology.

The paradigm of positive psychology, significant in nature, helps to explain the proactivity and motivation of human agency, such as a secondary school student's state of autonomy, confidence, and personal resolve to strive for optimal learning and/or non-learning experiences. Our recent resear...
