“…The reliability of the Portuguese version of The PERMA questionnaire was satisfactory, except for engagement factor, which reliability coefficients were below the threshold 0.70. As expected, engagement was the most problematic construct in the Portuguese version of the instrument, due to poor reliability and validity, as also shown by previous studies (Butler & Kern, 2016;Carvalho et al, 2021;Demirci et al, 2017;Giangrasso, 2018;Pezirkianidis et al, 2019;Wammerl et al, 2019). Butler and Kern (2016) highlighted the difficulty of measuring engagement, because of its complexity.…”

“…Other versions of The PERMA Profiler founded the same pattern of results, sustaining the five-factor model of the instrument. The German version (Wammerl et al, 2019) showed an acceptable model fit (RMSEA = 0.045, SRMR = 0.034, CFI = 0.972, TLI = 0.964, χ 2 = 220.05, df = 80); the Greek version (Pezirkianidis et al, 2019) founded similar results (RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.05, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.90, χ 2 = 1469.306, df = 80); the Italian version (Giangrasso, 2018) showed a reasonable model fit (RMSEA = 0.071, SRMR = 0.039, CFI = 0.98, GFI = 0.94); the Brazilian version (Carvalho et al, 2021) and the Turkish version (Demirci et al, 2017) revealed a satisfactory model fit, respectively: RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.97, GFI = 0.953, χ 2 = 354.9, df = 80 and RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.05, CFI = 0.97, χ 2 = 191.79, df = 78.…”

Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Version of The PERMA-Profiler

This study evaluates the psychometric properties of a Portuguese version of The PERMA Profiler in a sample of 1258 Portuguese adults (72.3% females) with a mean age of 36.74 years (SD = 11.313). The PERMA Profiler is a questionnaire that assesses the five dimensions of psychological flourishing, according to Seligman’s well-being theory. According to this theory, the well-being pillars known by the acronym PERMA are positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test Seligman’s model. Results support a reasonable model fit for the five-factor model, but based on the results of bootstrap sample analysis the model was not confirmed. There is also a lack of discriminant validity between PERMA constructs and a lack of validity and reliability of engagement factor. Internal consistency was satisfactory for all five sub-scales, except for engagement. Concurrent validity was demonstrated through the strong and very strong correlations between the PERMA factors and Flourishing Scale. A Portuguese version of The PERMA Profiler is a new tool to assist researchers to refine the measurement and understanding of well-being in Portuguese cultures. Future recommendations and limitations are highlighted.

“…O construto bem-estar subjetivo é um dos mais utilizados pelos pesquisadores que buscam aferir os níveis de bem-estar (Diener, 1984). Ainda, há outros dois construtos psicológicos que também buscam aferir o bem-estar, mas estes consideram o fator relacionamento como uma das variáveis explicativas do bemestar, são eles: bem-estar psicológico (Ryff, 1989) e PERMA (Carvalho;Aquino;Natividade, 2021;Seligman, 2011). Diante dessa contextualização em relação ao fenômeno bem-estar no âmbito científico, torna-se oportuno mencionar algumas das evidências de correlação do bemestar com as habilidades sociais, tanto nas questões profissionais como pessoais.…”

“…Na Psicologia Positiva, movimento científico que investiga os fatores relacionados ao bem-estar, o fator das relações satisfatórias uns com os outros mostra-se presente em duas das principais teorias do movimento. São elas: PERMA 1 (Carvalho, Aquino;Natividade, 2021;Seligman, 2011) e bem-estar psicológico (Ryff, 1989). Quanto ao intuito do estudo do bemestar, trata-se da busca pelo conhecimento que permite o cultivo dos aspectos que fazem com que a vida realmente valha a pena ser vivida (Baumel, 2021).…”

O relacionamento saudável entre as pessoas é um dos principais fatores que ajuda na promoção do bem-estar. É possível desenvolver essa capacidade de se relacionar melhor com os outros a partir de um treinamento de habilidades sociais (THS). As habilidades empáticas, especificamente, que estão ligadas a um estado de presença e de escuta para o outro são habilidades chaves para melhores relações e, consequentemente, maior sensação de bem-estar.

“…A growing body of empirical evidence suggests that wellbeing is mainly characterized by positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishments constituting a theoretical framework referred to as PERMA [ 8 , 9 ]. Specifically, positive emotions refer to the affective component or feeling well, with engagement referring to a deep psychological connection to a particular activity, relationship referring to social connection, meaning referring to purpose, and accomplishments referring to personal goals [ 10 , 11 ]. Wellbeing and flourishing have been examined using the PERMA wellbeing framework in adult workers [ 12 ], cancer survivors [ 13 ], and artists [ 14 ] across countries such as Korea, China, Brazil, and India.…”

Background: The wellbeing of college students is an important concern for public health, and may have associations with insufficient physical activity and psychological distress. This study aimed to identify the latent classes of wellbeing based on the PERMA (i.e., positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishments) wellbeing framework, and to explore their associations with levels of physical activity and psychological distress. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted. A latent profile analysis was performed to characterize the different classes of wellbeing of nursing college students. Results: A group of 1741 nursing college students in China completed the study. Three wellbeing classes were identified in the final model (i.e., low-level wellbeing, moderate-level wellbeing, and high-level wellbeing). Significant differences were found between the three classes in terms of gender (p = 0.002) and year of study (p = 0.038). Low levels of physical activity participation were significantly associated with lower odds of being in the high-level wellbeing class compared with the moderate-level wellbeing class (OR = 1.398, 95%CI [1.023, 1.910], p = 0.035). Lower levels of psychological distress were also associated with greater wellbeing among the three wellbeing classes (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Effective strategies are needed to increase college students’ physical activity participation and decrease the severity of psychological distress to improve their health and wellbeing in China.
