Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the light sides and the dark sides of positive emotions. To this aim, I first present the differences between positive and negative emotions, as well as the history of the research on positive emotions in the history of psychology. With regard to the light sides of positive emotions, I consider three fields widely studied by the researchers: the relationship between positive emotion and health (and longevity), the relationship between positive emotion and cognition, and the relationship between positive emotion and interpersonal relationships. In relation to the dark sides of positive emotions, I report the negative outcomes found by the researchers in some of the positive emotions, those that have been subject of extensive research. I finish summarizing the six key themes proposed by Gruber and Purcell (2015) in order to encompass the ways positive emotions may go awry.
