ABSTRACT

This study attempts to illuminate the Naomi narrative, which transformed the crisis situation in the second half of life into a flourishing life, by applying the PERMA model. The reason for choosing Naomi's narrative is to explore the principles in detail how she transformed the loss and despair experienced in the latter half of her life into a flourishing life. Among the five components that can increase the flourish of the recent well-being theory, the particularly positive emotion is very important, which is further supported by the socioemotional selectivity theory. The socioemotional selectivity theory emphasizes that humans are beings who have insightful perceptions of the time remaining in their lives. In other words, it is the perception that humans are finite. Since the individual in the second half of life experiences a finite existence, it is very important to build a florishing narrative through positive emotions. The prospect of future time in the second half of life is a major factor in determining the characteristics of emotional experience. The order of this study will examine the flourish concept and socioemotional selectivity theory, which have recently been focused on in positive psychology, and then apply the PERMA model to examine Naomi's narrative. The significance of this study is to lay the foundation for the Christian PERMA model for the realization of a flourishing life.
