Abstract
Objective/Purpose
The present aim was first to describe the medium of the “'Methodical Recommendations” or “Methodlets”
commonly used in Russian psychology and second to describe three recent “Methodlets” in positive psychology.
Design/Background
Within contemporary Russian psychology, there is growing interest in the examination of human character
strengths and virtues within the context of positive psychology. Such interest has led to a growing number of scales
being translated from the original English version into the Russian language for clinical and research purposes.
However, such translated materials are often difficult to gain access to for clinicians and researchers, and this is
especially the case for students. To address this matter, one initiative involves the development and publication of
“'Methodical Recommendations” or “Methodlets”, brief books focused on providing methodological guidance and
resources to researchers and students.
Methods
Pertinent searches in the Russian language of the Russian psychological literature databases were undertaken.
Result/Outcomes
Three “Methodlets” specifically concerned with positive psychology were identified. Each of these “Methodlets”
were obtained and examined. Each of the “Methodlets” contained Russian translations of five commonly used
scales and associated information concerning administration instructions, scoring information, and published
psychometric information, respectively.
Conclusions
In total, these three “Methodlets” contain 15 scales and comprise of a significant proportion of the positive
psychology measures currently available in Russian. As such they provide an effective way of making Russian
translations of positive psychology scales and associated information available to Russian speaking researchers,
clinicians, and students.
