Barbara Fredrickson, PhD
- Barbara Fredrickson, PhD is one of the most brilliant minds in psychology, and won the Templeton Prize in 2000 for her work, including special recognition for her ‘Broaden and Build’ theory of positive emotions. Dr. Fredrickson’s work has been funded for the last nine years by the National Institute of Mental Health, and she currently runs the Positive Emotion and Psychophysiology Lab at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
Broaden and Build theory was presented to my class during Immersion Week in 2005 by Dr. Fredrickson when I was getting my Masters in Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, and it spun my head around in terms of how I could use it personally and professionally. In this interview, I ask Dr. Fredrickson to explain Broaden and Build and its implications, what the Positivity Ratio is, and how to increase ‘positive’ emotions in your own life.
