Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to explore the possibilities of positive self-talk and the effect it can have on people and their happiness level. In this study there were a total of thirteen subjects who attended classes to exam their self-talk and develop skills in using positive self-talk. The subjects took a pretest to establish the degree of their happiness and they took a posttest to see if there is an improvement in their level of happiness. Using a Paired Sample t-test the result showed a significant finding. The result suggests that people using positive self-talk can improve the level of happiness that they feel. While not all members of the cohort had improved in their happiness level majority showed an improvement making for a suggestion of further research of why specific subjects did not improved while majority of the population did.
