This review aimed to synthesise and compare positive psychology constructs and interventions in adolescence and ageing, identify similarities and age-specific differences, and clarify implications for a lifespan approach, with particular attention to gaps involving adolescents and older adults. A systematic search was planned across relevant databases using predefined search terms, eligibility criteria, and a specified publication time frame, followed by title\/abstract screening, full-text review, and final study inclusion documented via a PRISMA flow process. Data extraction targeted study characteristics, focal constructs, intervention components, and outcomes; methodological quality was appraised, and findings were synthesised using narrative methods with meta-analytic techniques where feasible. Across adolescence, the literature centres on well-being and life satisfaction, character strengths and virtues, and resilience and coping, with applications spanning school-based programs, family and community initiatives, and technology-enabled interventions, and with developmental relevance to identity formation and academic and social functioning, including potential longer-term effects. In ageing, evidence emphasises wisdom and personal growth, meaning and purpose, social connection and generativity, and interventions including positive ageing programs, mindfulness and contemplative practices, and intergenerational approaches, while addressing age-related decline, cultural considerations, and pathways to successful ageing and quality of life. Comparative synthesis indicates shared foundational constructs but underscores the need for agetailored intervention design and stronger research coverage across developmental transitions. Overall, integrating positive psychology from adolescence through old age supports targeted clinical, educational, and policy strategies to promote well-being across the lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Positive Psychology, Well-Being, Adolescence, Ageing, Interventions, Lifespan, Developmental Considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 1-12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1-12.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Neron N Thakor DOI Link:https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04042001 Abstract: Positive psychology, defined by its focus on well-being, strengths, and optimal functioning, has developed into a major framework for understanding and promoting mental health across the lifespan, yet evidence remains unevenly integrated for key developmental periods such as adolescence and later life.
