This form was used to teach the participant students how to construct and develop positive thinking and behaviors through the process of recording and analyzing their feelings of self-happiness. This study found that the students who participated in this course could effectively learn how to analyze their self-happiness feelings through the record of the process, translate their self-happiness feelings into positive concepts, develop these positive concepts into the dynamics of happiness, and construct positive thinking and behavior patterns.
