    El presente trabajo estudió el efecto de agregar un programa cognitivo conductual a un programa de intervención en Psicología Positiva. Para ello,45 de estudiantes universitarios fueron medidos las escalas SWLS, PANAS, CES-D, BAI y HADS y asignados a uno de dos grupos: a) intervención con psicología positiva o b) intervención con psicología positiva más cognitivo-conductual. Las comparaciones pre post indican que una intervención de Psicología Positiva aumenta significativamente la satisfacción vital y el afecto positivo y disminuye significativamente el afecto negativo, los síntomas depresivos y los síntomas de ansiedad (p< .05). Además, el análisis de ANCOVA muestra que la intervención cognitivo conductual no aporta nada adicional al programa de psicología positiva en cada una de las variables medidas (p> .05). En resumen, nuestros hallazgos sugieren que es posible ofrecer asistencia psicológica proporcionando herramientas de Psicología Positiva que promuevan el bienestar y la salud psicológica centrándose en la maximización de las fortalezas dentro de un pequeño período de intervención

    The effect of adding a cognitive behavioral program to an intervention program in Positive Psychologywas. For this purpose, 45 university students were measured by SWLS, PANAS, CES-D, BAI and HADS scales and assigned to one of two groups: a) intervention with positive psychology or b) intervention with more cognitive-behavioral positive psychology. Pre-post comparisons indicatethat a Positive Psychology intervention significantly increases life satisfaction and positive affect and significantly decreases negative affect, depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms (p<.05). Moreover, ANCOVA analysis show that the Cognitive-behavioral interventiondoes not contributedanything additional to the program of positive psychologyin each of the variables measured (p > .05). In short, our findings suggest that it is possible to offer psychological assistance by providing tools from Positive Psychology that promote well-being and psychological health focusing on maximizing strengths within a small period intervention
