What is the CoVitality Principle?

Positive personal mindsets develop with some degree of synchronicity... one's sense of gratitude might be fostered when a teacher or friend helps them with a challenging math problem. The helpee experiences gratitude for the support, just as their self-efficacy is fostered when they recognize, “hey, I can do this!”

When considering global well-being, the concept of covitality has been used for benefits that emerge from multiple competencies and strengths in the fields of biology (Weiss & Luciano, 2015), complex personality models (Figueredo, Vásquez, Brumbach, & Schneider, 2007), and positive psychology/education (Furlong et al., 2014; Keyes, 2015).
