“…Although instruments exist in Brazil which measure positive behaviors (Gouveia et al, 2005(Gouveia et al, , 2012, no measure was found which dealt specifically with positivity as a tendency for people to act positively regarding their own lives. As a result, this undertaking is considered relevant, as it offers evidence of a psychometrically-adequate measure for use in research and even in the clinical ambit.…”

“…This measure was originally proposed by Ryan and Frederick (1997), with a version made up of seven items; later improved by Bostic, Rubio and Hood (2000), who proposed a more parsimonious version of six items. This version was adapted to the Brazilian context by Gouveia et al (2012), producing a strategy which brought together the six items (e.g., "I feel alive and vital"), answered on a seven-point scale varying from 1 (Not at all true) to 7 (Very true). It is a one-factor measure, with a Cronbach's alpha superior to .70 for its Brazilian adaptation.…”

“…As a result, instruments centered on constructs which covered the human virtues, such as satisfaction with life (Gouveia, Barbosa, Andrade, & Carneiro, 2005) and subjective vitality (Gouveia et al, 2012) became more present. In this regard, the effects of positive constructs have been demonstrated in various studies, with positive correlations being observed with varying aspects, such as physical health, longevity, recovery from illnesses and coping strategies (Scheier & Carver, 2001).…”

This research aimed to adapt the Positivity Scale (PS) to the Brazilian context, gathering evidence of validity and reliability. Two studies were performed. Study 1 was composed of 200 people from Paraíba, with a mean age of 23.4 years old (SD = 4.53), who answered the PS and demographic questions. Results pointed to a one-factor solution in this scale, which presented satisfactory reliability (α = .85). Study 2 gathered 290 undergraduate students with a mean age of 23.9 years old (SD = 7.60), who answered the PS, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Subjective Vitality Scale and demographic questions. Confirmatory factor analyses (ML and ADF estimators) corroborated the one-factor structure, which presented an acceptable reliability (CR = .65). Furthermore, its convergent validity was confirmed based on the average variance extracted (AVE = .60) and on its correlations with satisfaction with life and vitality (p < .001). In conclusion, this measure has been shown to be psychometrically adequate for use in Brazil.

“…In order to verify the assumptions of concurrent validity of SVS, a correlation analysis was performed through the Pearson coefficient r, between subjective vitality and satisfaction with life. As the subjective vitality construct reflects well-being 4 , it is likely that it has strong and positive correlations with other well-being variables (satisfaction with life) 24 . Finally, in order to analyze the possible differences in subjective vitality between active and sedentary subjects of our sample, the t-Student test was used, which allows studying how the means of two populations are significantly different 25 .…”

-The main aim of the study was to validate the Portuguese version of the Subjective Vitality Scale -SVS for the Portuguese elderly population through of confirmatory factorial analysis. The existence of differences in the perception of subjective vitality among sufficiently active and insufficiently active older adults was also analyzed. A total of 309 Portuguese elderly (242 females, 67 males) aged 60-90 years (M = 68.59, SD = 6.60) participated in this study. Of the total sample, 256 are sufficiently active, while 53 are insufficiently active. The results show that the model was adjusted to data in a satisfactory way (χ² = 28.95; df = 9; CFI = .97; TLI = .94; SRMR = .04; RMSEA = .08; RMSEA 90% CI = .05 -.12), and show a concurrent validity with the Portuguese version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The data obtained allow us concluding that the Portuguese version of the Subjective Vitality Scale can be used as a measure of subjective vitality in the Portuguese elderly population. It was also verified that the subjective perception of vitality is greater among individuals sufficiently active compared with their peers that do not reach the amount of practice of recommended physical activity.Key words: Elderly; Factor analysis; Motor activity; Quality of Life.

“…Esta tendência compactua com a própria definição de saúde da Organização Mundial de Saúde [World Health Organization, WHO], que a caracteriza como um estado completo de bem-estar físico, mental e social, e não a mera ausência de doença (WHO, 2013). O otimismo -tendência relativamente estável para a criação de expectativas (Blackwell et al, 2013), a vitalidade -nível de vigor físico, mental e estado de alerta do indivíduo (Gouveia et al, 2012) e o funcionamento laboral são conceitos que, embora distintos, surgem muitas vezes associados entre si. Diversos estudos sugerem que a presença de vitalidade/otimismo promove, não só estados de saúde física e psicológica (Boehm, Peterson, Kivimaki, & Kubzansky, 2011;Clanton et al, 2011;Griggs et al, 2007;van Fenema et al, 2012), mas também níveis superiores de funcionamento laboral (Patel et al, 2010).…”

______________________________________________________________________ RESUMO: Recentemente, tem sido realçada a importância do distress psicológico (DP) no impacto na saúde, qualidade de vida e psicopatologia dos indivíduos. A presente investigação tem como principal objetivo contribuir para a adaptação do Symptom Questionnaire (SQ-48) para a população portuguesa, um questionário de avaliação do DP que inclui constructos psicológicos negativos e positivos avaliados segundo nove subescalas: Humor, Ansiedade, Somatização, Agorafobia, Agressão, Problemas Cognitivos, Fobia Social, Funcionamento no Trabalho e Vitalidade/Otimismo. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 758 estudantes académicos de enfermagem (81,7% do sexo feminino) com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 43 anos (M=20,7; DP=2,8). Foram conduzidas Análises Fatoriais Confirmatórias (AFC) para a análise da estrutura fatorial do SQ-48 e procedeu-se ao estudo da consistência interna e das validades. Os resultados da AFC evidenciam índices de ajustamento satisfatórios. A consistência interna foi avaliada através do alfa de Cronbach e foram obtidos resultados satisfatórios para as nove subescalas do SQ-48, com oscilações entre os 0,626 e os 0,870 valores. No geral, as subescalas do SQ-48 associaram-se significativamente entre si e os resultados sustentam boa validade convergente. O instrumento final e as suas características psicométricas apresentam algumas diferenças com o instrumento do estudo original e os resultados obtidos levantam algumas questões que são discutidas de forma sustentada. Os resultados validam o SQ-48 como um instrumento de avaliação consistente e multidimensional do distress psicológico, com itens devidamente adequados à medição dos constructos subjacentes. São avançadas considerações para investigações futuras.
