“…In recent surveys (Scorsolini-Comin & Santos, 20092011a, 2011b, 2012, it was noted that the Brazilian level of research still contrasts with the abundance of European and North-American studies (Barros, Martín, & Pinto, 2010;Delle Fave, 2006;Larrauri, 2006;Park & Peterson, 2007;Pérez, 2009;Peterson & Seligman, 2003;Seligman, 2002Seligman, , 2004Seligman, , 2011Snyder & Lopez, 2009 & Yunes, 2006) can be highlighted as important milestones of the movement in the national context. From the point of view of measuring in the Positive Psychology fi eld, related to aspects of subjective well-being and correlated notions, such as fl ow, self, satisfaction and locus of control, among others, the studies point to the need for production of tools adapted and validated to the Brazilian context (Albuquerque & Tróccoli, 2004;Paschoal & Tamayo, 2008;Scorsolini-Comin & Santos, 2010), preferably built from national samples, which also does not exclude the need to investigate the classical international tools, their assumptions, adaptation, transcultural validation and applicability (Ferraz, Tavares, & Zilberman, 2007) in various situations, populations and cultural contexts.…”
