(Industrial Psychology)The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which the Positivity Projective Technique (PPT) is associated with the psychological constructs embedded in the major theories of positive psychology. This was achieved through the use of self-report measures that were administered to a non-probability sample of 271 participants. The factor structure was ascertained using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and confirmatory bi-factor analysis; while taking into account the fit indices. The results indicated that the PPT may elicit eight distinct factors from the positive psychology canon. Given the results, there is evidence to suggest the existence of the underlying general positive affectivity factor, which may be representative of the ‘up’ PPT logo.2015-03-17Thesisuj:13426http://hdl.handle.net/10210/13463University of Johannesburg
