摘要：The Ngram database allows searches that identify words that are top of mind in a culture at a specific time. We used this database to discover the character strengths that have been loudest in the conversation of the American English publication record during the last 100 years, and in particular in 2019. Love, perspective, and leadership have been increasing since 1920 and hope has been increasing since 1987. Results suggest that these character strengths could be increased even more with greater emphasis upon them. The Ngram database was used to filter the 24 constructs identified by Peterson and Seligman (2004) perhaps identifying four of the most important constructs now and ever.
