Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the predictive ability of implicit theories of emotion and fear of happiness on Flourishing among female students of the College of Education at the University of Hail. The study sample consisted of (359) female students who were selected using the available method. To achieve the objectives of the study, the Fear of Happiness Scale by Gilbert et al., [1], the Flourishing Scale by Diener et al., [2], and the Implicit Theories of Emotion Scale, by Livingston, 2012, were used. The results of the study showed that the level of Flourishing was high. The results also showed a statistically significant correlation between entity theory and incremental theory within implicit theories of emotion. While the results showed that there was no statistically significant relationship between fear of happiness and Flourishing. The results also showed that implicit theories of emotion and fear of happiness together explained (50.9%) of the variance in Flourishing.
