Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Instead of using the illness ideology approach, Maddux suggests using a positive psychology approach such as using character strengths to define mental health. He points to the Values in Action (VIA) classification system as a good example (Peterson & Park, 2009; Peterson & Seligman, 2004). Character strengths for the VIA system were derived from philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, and youth development as well as virtue catalogs from historical figures (e.g., Benjamin Franklin). Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman, the originators of the system, discovered 24 strengths for the VIA that they grouped into the six categories of (1) Wisdom and Knowledge, (2) Courage, (3) Humanity, (4) Justice, (5) Temperance, and (6) Transcendence.
