Twenty elite archers from Korean company teams took part, ten attending eight weekly sessions of 40 to 60 minutes and ten acting as controls, chosen without random allocation: knowledge of their own strengths and their reported use of them rise in both groups, and the two groups change in the same way (interaction p = 0.43 and p = 0.52). Optimism rises slightly in those who followed the programme, from 3.68 to 4.05, and barely at all in the controls, from 3.53 to 3.61, but here too the difference between groups is well short of significance (p = 0.20). The paper's English abstract presents the programme as effective, while the Korean text and the authors' own conclusions say that nothing measurable changed compared with the controls. The null result is a single small one, though: with ten archers per group only large effects could be detected, the final measurement fell shortly before a national competition that may have lifted everyone's questionnaire scores, and shooting scores were not recorded.claim:psicologia-positiva-punti-di-forza:revision:2026-08-22:2Sat, 22 Aug 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/strengths-based-positive-psychology-archersclaim:psicologia-positiva-punti-di-forza:new_claim:2026-07-08:riportatoWed, 08 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT
