Zest, hope, and love are still on top! Study after study, across cultures, show these three strengths as standing on top of the 24 as those most connected with happiness. This study extends these findings (Martinez-Marti & Ruch, 2014).
热情、希望以及爱依旧占据最高地位！经过了一项又一项的研究，其中包括跨文化研究，表明在与快乐最紧密联系的24项特点中，这三个性格优势在排在最前端。
2. Relationship satisfaction.
关系满意度
Among married couples, both the higher ratings of character strengths and the use of character strengths in the marriage were related to higher satisfaction in the relationship (Lavy et al., 2014).
在结婚的夫妻中，性格优势等级很高并且能将其运用到婚姻中的人，对关系满意度会更高。
3. Depression.
抑郁
In a rare positive psychology intervention study of older adults (aged 50-79), overall intervention was found to be most effective for a group assigned to work on using a signature strength in new ways. It was the only intervention that led to both an increase in happiness and a decrease in depression for the adults (Proyer et al., 2014).
在仅有的对老年人（年龄在50-79）的积极心理学干预的研究中，一组以一种新方式来运用个人优势的任务在所有的干预中被发现是最有效的。这是唯一一种干预，能够增加快乐并且减少抑郁（对成年人而言）。
4.Coping.
应对
In two workplace samples (a mixed group of several occupations and a nurses group), character strengths were connected with improved coping with work stress and with a decrease in the negative effects of stress (Harzer & Ruch, 2015).
在两个工作场所的研究样例中（这是一个混合的小组，包含着几个职业小组和护士小组），显示性格优势与两种能力有关，它能够提高处理工作压力的能力，并且能够减少压力带来的消极影响。
5.Productivity.
工作效率
In a workplace study involving 686 participants, the character strength of perseverance was the strength most associated with work productivity and least associated with counter-productive work behaviors. This was best explained by the workers’ sense of meaning at work and perceptions of work-as-a-career and work-as-a-calling (Littman-Ovadia & Lavy, 2015).
在一份涉及到686名参与人员的职场研究中，不折不挠的性格优点被证明与工作效率有最强的联系，并且与不利于工作的行为有着最少的联系。员工在工作中的意义感，以及“把工作当成一种事业”还是“把工作当做一个口号”的观点，都为这个研究发现提供了最好的解释。
Following several analyses of data involving over one million people, these three elements of human character emerged (McGrath, 2015).
根据超过一百万人的数据分析显示，这三个人类性格特点元素脱颖而出。
7.Exercise habits.
锻炼习惯
In a qualitative study that tailored individual’s signature strengths to an exercise program, participants improved in exercise adherence, enjoyment of exercise, and achievement (Stocker & Hefferon, in press).

8.Classroom behavior and achievement.
课堂行为与学业成就
In a study of primary school students and a study of secondary school students, several character strengths were associated with positive classroom behavior (e.g., perseverance, social intelligence, prudence, hope, self-regulation) and school achievement (e.g., love of learning, perseverance, zest, perspective, gratitude, hope) (Wagner & Ruch, 2015).
在一份小学生的研究和中学生的研究中，几个性格优点与积极的课堂行为（比如，坚持不懈、社交智慧、谨慎、希望、自我调节）以及学习成就（比如，热爱学习、百折不挠、热情、思考方法、感激、希望）有着联系。
9.Resilience.
恢复力
In a study of people in China who had experienced a range of traumatic experiences, a significant relationship between virtues and resilience was found. Interestingly, it was virtues that contributed more to posttraumatic growth while resilience emerged as a strong predictor of PTSD (Duan, Guo, & Gan, 2015).
在一项对中国人的调查中，这些人都有一系列的创伤经历，研究人员发现了优点和恢复力之间存在着重要的联系。有趣的是，性格优点对创伤后成长有更多的贡献，同时优秀的恢复力是摆脱创伤后精神压力症强有力的预示信号。
10.Inclusiveness.
包容性
Preliminary work examining the inclusiveness of the VIA Youth Survey for youth with disabilities found that the assessment was reliable and meaningful for youth with and without disabilities and similar strengths profiles emerged (Shogren et al., in press).
青年调查（这是一个组织）对有身体缺陷的青少年进行了包容性的调查，初步调查发现，不管对有身体缺陷还是健康的青少年来说，这种性格优势的评估都是可靠和有意义的，并且会得出相似的个人优点档案。
