“…In recent decades, there has been an increase in studies on the constructs that are related to subjective (Diener, 1984;Diener et al, 2018;Jovanović, 2015) and psychological (Disabato et al, 2016;Ryff, 1989) individual well-being (Sonnentag, 2015), especially in those contexts with a strong presence of stressors such as academic education (Klainin-Yobas et al, 2016;Schmidt & Hansson, 2018;Smith & Yang, 2017). According to Faro (2013a), graduate school is a complex reality that requires various adjustments, from career planning to facing daily challenges in the exercise of this work activity, and recent studies point to an increase in psychological distress among graduate students (Farrer et al, 2016;Marais et al, 2018;Mendes & Iora, 2014). The relationship of the students with their advisors, the few resources available, the work overload, the arduous learning of scientific writing, and the preparation and development of the research project proves to be contributing factors to this distress (Faro, 2013a;Galvan et al, 2015;Santos et al, 2015).…”
