Publicación A critical review of positive education: challenges and limitations(Springer Nature, 2022-09-08) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; González Lamas, JaraPositive education has gained increased interest and attention in the last decade. Born as an applied movement within positive psychology, positive education aims to introduce a positive approach to education to aid schools in promoting happiness, improving learning and performance, and reducing mental health problems among children and adolescents. Whereas relatively new, positive education has made notable progress and bears enormous potential. However, the movement still presents vulnerabilities and limitations that need addressing. With a focus on critical and supporting literature, this integrative review explores and brings together some of the most pressing challenges that positive education faces today. Tackling these vulnerabilities would positively contribute to the ongoing advancement of the movement.Publicación CrossFit and Self-Optimization in CrossFit's Popular Literature(Social Science Open Access Repository (SSOAR), 2024) Cabanas Díaz, EdgarCrossFit is one of the fastest growing fitness phenomena of the last decade. Considered the largest fitness business today, CrossFit's widespread popularity has attracted increasing interest from a variety of disciplines. Despite this burgeoning scholarly attention, few analyses have focused on examining CrossFit's discourse of self-optimization and the role it plays in shaping the ideal image of the CrossFitter. The present paper addresses this question by examining the popular literature on CrossFit using a Critical Discourse Approach (CDA). Findings reveal CrossFit's understanding of self-optimization as a polyhedral and demanding process that goes beyond physical discipline to encompass all facets of the self. Five main themes of self-optimization are identified in the popular CrossFit literature: 1) failure and weakness, 2) pain and constant preparedness, 3) integral self-work and passionate commitment, 4) constant self-improvement, and 5) community support. Drawing on previous research on the topic, the paper also reflects on the relationship between CrossFit and neoliberalism, suggesting CrossFit as a fertile ground for the humanities and social sciences to further explore the intersections between the fields of health, sport, self-optimization, and identity.Publicación Publicación Is there innovation management of emotions or just the commodification of happiness? A sentiment analysis of happiness apps(Emerald Publishing, 2024-10-17) Mojica, M.; Palos Sanchez, P.R.; Cabanas Díaz, EdgarPurpose The aim of this research is to gain insight into the emotional impact and cognitive evaluations that these applications have on users from their own perspective. Design/methodology/approach Sentiment analysis methodology is used to analyze users’ comments and ratings, assess perceived benefits and determine the emotional impact these applications have on them. Findings The results suggest a benefit for happiness scholars, professionals, users and organizations focused on employee well-being and provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of happiness applications. While the study relies on publicly available user data, it complements, but does not replace, market research or product evaluation conducted by app developers and companies. Originality/value Among the myriad channels disseminating the assumption that the good life is attainable through personal means and psychological know-how, smartphone applications have emerged as accessible, cost-effective and attractive tools to help users become happier and alleviate feelings of distress and discomfort.Publicación Fit fürs Gluck - Positive Psychologie und ihr Einfluss auf die Identität von Arbeitskräften in neoliberalen Organisationen(Deutsche Gesellschaft für Verhaltenstherapie e.V., 2015) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Illouz, EvaPublicación Precariedad laboral y salud mental. Conocimientos y políticas(Ministerio de Trabajo y Economía Social, 2023-01-15) Benach, Joan; Alonso, Fernando; Alonso Álvarez, Diego; Artazcoz, Lucia; Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Belén González Callado; Matilla Santander, Núria; Muntaner, Carles; Quintero Lima, María Gema; Zafra, Remedios; Muntané, Ferran; Benach, JoanPublicación Las raíces de la Psicología Positiva(2012) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Sánchez González, José CarlosLa Psicología Positiva se apoya en un peculiar modelo de individuo desarrollado en la cultura popular estadounidense desde finales del s. XVIII. Este modelo, al que hemos llamado individualismo "positivo", arranca con el Trascendentalismo de Emerson y su defensa, contra el puritanismo, del individuo como una esencia capaz de autodeterminarse, autoconocerse y desarrollarse ilimitadamente, gracias a que forma parte de la Divinidad. A partir de aquí, nuevos movimientos más "prácticos", como el Nuevo Pensamiento, o el Pensamiento Positivo, enfatizaron, a través de cientos de manuales de autoayuda, el poder del pensamiento individual para imponerse a la materia y al mundo y curar directamente la enfermedad, atraer la riqueza y la salud y conseguir la felicidad. Enfoques alternativos, también genuinamente americanos, como el de John Dewey, criticaron en su momento ese modelo de individualidad y ofrecieron alternativas teóricas apoyadas en ciertos desarrollos del Funcionalismo y en una agenda política diferente. La Psicología Positiva hoy trata de distanciarse de los aspectos metafísicos más ostensibles del individualismo "positivo", pero mantiene aquella concepción ahistórica, asocial y subjetivista del individuoPublicación Psychiatry as culture: Transforming childhood through ADHD(Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, 2013) Shachak, Mattan; Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Cohen, María Ángeles; lllouz, Eva; Dellwing, Michael; Harbusch, MartinPublicación Travellers. Transformative Journeys and Emotional Contacts(Berghahn Books, 2019-06-06) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Khan, Razak; Marjanen, Jani; Gammerl, Benno; Nielsen, Philipp; Margrit PernauPublicación The Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures(Routledge, 2020) Nehring, Daniel; Madsen, Ole Jacob; Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Mills, China; Kerrigan, DylanThe Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures explores central lines of enquiry and seminal scholarship on therapeutic cultures, popular psychology, and the happiness industry. Bringing together studies of therapeutic cultures from sociology, anthropology, psychology, education, politics, law, history, social work, cultural studies, development studies, and American Indian studies, it adopts a consciously global focus, combining studies of the psychologisation of social life from across the world. Thematically organised, it offers historical accounts of the growing prominence of therapeutic discourses and practices in everyday life, before moving to consider the construction of self-identity in the context of the diffusion of therapeutic discourses in connection with the global spread of capitalism. With attention to the ways in which emotional language has brought new problematisations of the dichotomy between the normal and the pathological, as well as significant transformations of key institutions, such as work, family, education and religion, it examines emergent trends in therapeutic culture and explores the manner in which the advent of new therapeutic technologies, the political interest in happiness, and the radical privatisation and financialisation of social life converge to remake self-identities and modes of everyday experience. Finally, the book features the work of scholars who have foregrounded the historical and contemporary implication of psychotherapeutic practices in processes of globalisation and colonial and postcolonial modes of social organisation. Presenting agenda-setting research to encourage interdisciplinary and international dialogue and foster the development of a distinctive new field of social research, The Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in the advance of therapeutic discourses and practices in an increasingly psychologised society.
