This rationale will provide a theoretical and a research-based case for articulating strengths using the &#8220;subjective&#8221; approach involving story-telling about previous experiences which were marked by pride, enjoyment and a feelings of accomplishment. Participants tell these stories in small group (usually 4 people) and then help each other articulate the names of the strengths used in the good experiences.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:52px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DS RATIONALE - Part 2 of 3 parts\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WslJkjwnqSk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In Part 2, Jerald Forster, PhD, talks about 5 important variables studied in Positive Psychology.
