摘要

A positive psychology approach emphasises enhancing people’s strengths and positive aspects to enhance their flourishing. Technology may offer an effective method for disseminating positive psychology interventions to individuals who are facing health adversity. While awareness of and support for emotional well-being are increasing, many countries report a decline in employees’ emotional well-being every year. Occupational, social, and physical outcomes of many employees are negatively affected by their mental health. A variety of scalable technologies have been used to mitigate mental health disorders. When these technologies are evaluated, mixed results are often reported on how well they improve emotional well-being. This chapter presents a robotic positive psychology approach to enhance emotional well-being. There was statistically significant improvement in participants’ emotional well-being, mental health, and willingness to change their behaviour. Personality characteristics also had a significant impact on intervention efficacy. The aim of the chapter is to provide an in-depth insight into robotic positive psychology interventions and emotional well-being. The research will be qualitatively analysed through a systematic review of contemporary research on robotic positive psychology interventions and emotional well-being. The author will be able to evaluate the topic based on documented research.
