ABSTRACT

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) within a positive psychology (PP) framework is an under-researched, creative group-work tool that aims to develop positive qualities through the creation of Lego models, metaphors and storytelling. The paper’s purpose is to explore the potential use with individual coaching clients as a means to opening up coaching conversations. A qualitative research study was conducted using interpretative phenomenological analysis as its methodology with the aim to explore individuals’ experiences of using LSP in coaching sessions to determine its value within a PP framework. Five participants took part in the coaching sessions, followed by semi-structured interviews where they were invited to reflect on their experience of the sessions. Three superordinate themes were identified with participants experiencing the creation of greater awareness and insights, having the time to think and a sense of emotional security. Lego was an enabler for creating new awareness and insights within the individual, by creating a psychologically safe environment, where ideas emerge in a way that allows more time to think, being in flow and a further opening of the coaching conversation.

摘要

积极心理学 (PP) 框架内的 LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) 是一种研究不足的创造性小组工作工具，旨在通过创建乐高模型、隐喻和讲故事来培养积极品质。这篇论文的目的是探索个人教练客户的潜在用途，作为开启教练对话的一种手段。使用解释性现象学分析作为其方法进行了一项定性研究，旨在探索个人在辅导课程中使用 LSP 的经验，以确定其在 PP 框架内的价值。五名参与者参加了辅导课程，随后进行了半结构化的采访，他们被邀请反思他们在课程中的经历。确定了三个上级主题，参与者体验了更大的意识和洞察力，有时间思考和情感安全感。乐高通过创造一个心理安全的环境，在个人内部创造新的意识和洞察力，在这种环境中，想法以一种允许更多时间思考、流动和进一步开启教练对话的方式出现。
