Psychology Emotional wellbeing in adolescents achieving optimal experiences impacting the school climate flow in schools A study was performed to understand students’ viewpoints on how well a high school cared for their emotional wellbeing. Q methodology was utilized to gain quantitative and qualitative results. Quantum analysis extracted three distinct viewpoints. <i>Individualists</i> believe the school values emotional wellness when it recognizes the personal talents, strengths, interests, needs, and stressors of its students. <i>Flowers</i> feel most valued when they are challenged to achieve at their highest ability levels. <i>Distressed in School</i> believe the school must do more to care for students’ emotional needs as much as their academic success. All three viewpoints agree that schools should value students’ emotional wellbeing, which includes involving them in decisions that affect the educational climate. Students also agree that high levels of stress created by standardized testing does not help them learn or perform better. The viewpoints also identified specific teacher behaviors as being supportive or detrimental to their emotional wellbeing. Implications center on restructuring the educational system based on Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of Flow. Suggestions feature elements of curriculum design and delivery, teacher training programs, student empowerment strategies, and repurposing stressors to stimulate positive emotions. 2016-08-29 English text Youngstown State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ysu1472465787 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ysu1472465787 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
