Abstract:
Researchers have long focused on the adaptive behavior,quality of life,dual diagnosis,personality motivation and families of persons with mental retardation,but failed to address virtue and well-being.Unlike even a decade ago,we can now well afford to turn the emphasis to the positive,internal states of those with mental retardation.Using the breakthroughs in positive psychology,these findings such as positive trait or positive experience,can proposes a new research agenda to mental retardation.Mental retardation can play an important role in positive psychology,but it needs the research and data support in future.
