This study evaluates how sociodemographic and psychological variables influence the intention in participating in future waves of a positive psychology longitudinal research. Participants were 2551 Brazilian subjects (63% female), ranging in age from 18 to 82 from 21 different States of Brazil, which responded to the first wave of the research. Several constructs of the positive psychology area were assessed. From the total, 37.7% of the participants did not accept to participate in the next waves of the study. Women were more prone to acceptting to participate when compared to men. The women who accepted presented higher levels in all "positive" psychological variables measured, and lower levels in all "negative" variables when compared to those who did not accept. For men, in turn, only pessimism influenced the intention in participating in the future waves of the study. Implications for longitudinal researches in Positive Psychology are discussed.

Resumo:Compreendemos os videogames como objetos culturais e protótipos de novos modos de alfabetização. Neste trabalho, discutimos o protagonismo de jogadores na produção de conhecimento dentro dos espaços de afinidade que circundam os jogos digitais. Foi realizada uma entrevista semi-estruturada com um jogador profissional de League of Legends, assim como uma análise de postagens de jogadores no fórum online Reddit, buscando compreender a relação dos jogadores em comunidade. A análise indica que os jogos propiciam a construção de espaços de aprendizagem colaborativa e que mesmo que o jogo tenha conteúdo que representa violência, ou que os jogadores possam ser violentos nas competições dentro do jogo, não há indício de que o mesmo produza violência em outros espaços.Palavras-chave: Espaços de afinidade, Cultura participativa, League of Legends, Violência, Aprendizagem. Abstract:We understand videogames as cultural objects and prototypes of new ways of literacy. In this work, we discuss the protagonism of players in the production of knowledge within the spaces of affinity that surround digital games. A semi-structured interview was conducted with a professional League of Legends player, as well as an analysis of player postings in the online forum Reddit, seeking to understand the players' relationship in community. The analysis indicates that the games facilitate the construction of spaces of collaborative learning and that even if the game has content that represents violence, or if players can be violent in the in-game competitions, there is no indication that it produces violence in other spaces.
