“…Although researchers and lay people often define happiness as life satisfaction or a sense of well-being, studies also define happiness as positive subjective experiences (Delle Fave et al 2016; Joshanloo & Weijers 2014; Scorsolini-Comin & Dos Santos 2010; Wren-Lewis 2014). However, despite the variance in happiness definitions, research confirms that an increase in individual happiness is advantageous to the individual and also enables societies to function better, thereby supporting the notion of incorporating aspects of happiness when formulating economic policy (Flynn & MacLeod 2015; Guzi & De Pedraza García 2015; Powdthavee 2007).…”

“…Do ponto de vista teórico-conceitual, podemos examinar os resultados obtidos a partir dos pressupostos da Psicologia Positiva (Scorsolini-Comin & Santos, 2010). Primeiramente, a busca pelos aspectos adaptativos do ser humano está presente desde a construção dos fatores dos instrumentos, uma vez que eles destacam a satisfação e os aspectos que fazem com que as pessoas estejam juntas e permaneçam vinculadas a partir de um relacionamento afetivo.…”

“…Considerando a individualidade de cada parceiro, o bem-estar subjetivo (BES) é uma noção contemporânea que tem sido concebida na literatura como o estudo científico da felicidade (Nunes, Hutz, & Giacomoni, 2009;Reppold, Giacomoni, & Hutz, 2007;Scorsolini-Comin & Santos, 2010;Seligman, 2002). Trata-se de uma experiência interna de cada indivíduo, que emite um julgamento de como ele se sente e o seu grau de satisfação com a vida.…”
