We investigated relations among strengths of character in 881 students from Croatian universities. We also examined links between strengths and various well-being indices. Our conceptualization was based on the Values in Action classification system with 24 strengths organized within six superordinate virtues (Peterson & Seligman, 2004). A factor analysis led to a four-factor solution; factors ...

Human beings seem to be resilient and have a great capacity to overcome adverse circumstances. One apparent variable that may predict people’s emotional and physical health after a trauma is their general level of psychological well-being (McMillen, Smith, & Fisher, 1997). The current study explores the role of subjective vitality and the perception of stress as mediators between general life s...

For individual scholars it involves talents for innovative knowledge creation and successful transmission to peers, as well as management capacities.

The use of electrolytic conductance measurements in physiological research may be said to date back nearly a century. Eduard Weber at Halle in 18361 conceived that galvanic energy like other forms of energy might be useful in the human body, and that if this were the case there should be paths of differing conductivity through the tissues. His thorough and ingenious experiments command admirati...

The physiologist cannot thus rest satisfied. It is his duty to bring to his aid the beautiful evidence of the laws of the animal economy, by Avhich the Creator works his fiat.
