“…A study by Moksnes et al [22] showed that high satisfaction with life is associated with a series of positive personal, behavioral, psychological, and social results, but low satisfaction with life is associated with higher levels of stress, psychologic disorders, and behavioral problems. Previous research done with adult populations reinforces this significant inverse relationship between satisfaction with life and depression [23][24][25].…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the mediating role of life satisfaction in the relationship between fourteen coping strategies and depressive symptoms in the Portuguese population. To undertake this work, 313 Portuguese adults aged 18 to 70 years (M = 30.73; SD = 10.79) were invited to participate in this study. Their participation was completely voluntary, and participants granted and signed informed consent previously to the filling of the validated Portuguese questionnaires. These questionnaires measured depressive symptoms, coping, and life satisfaction. The results revealed that life satisfaction displayed a mediating role in the relationship between adaptive coping mechanisms, specifically between active coping, planning, reinterpretation, and acceptance and depressive symptoms, showing a negative and significant indirect effect. Maladaptive coping mechanisms of self-blame, denial, self-distraction, disengagement, and substance use had a significant positive association with depressive symptoms, considering the mediating role of satisfaction with life. Current investigation provides initial evidence of how each coping mechanism is associated with satisfaction with life and depressive symptoms. This study clearly demonstrates that not all coping strategies are capable of influencing well-being indicators and that health professionals should focus on endorsing those that are significantly associated with lowering depressive symptoms and increasing overall satisfaction with life.

“…Subjetive Vitality Scale (SVS: Ryan & Frederick, 1997), validada para população sénior portuguesa (Couto et al, 2017), permite avaliar a vitalidade subjetiva nos idosos portugueses. A SVS é constituída por seis itens, aos quais se responde numa escala tipo Likert, com sete possibilidades de resposta.…”

“…Desta forma, a prática regular de atividade física ou exercício físico tem um efeito positivo na manutenção da capacidade física do sujeito ao longo do tempo (Hertzog, Kramer, Wilson, & Lindenberger, 2008), e está positivamente relacionada com a vitalidade subjetiva nesta população, uma vez que maiores índices de atividade física estão associados a maiores valores de vitalidade e, por outro lado, índices mais baixos de exercicio físico, estão associados a menor perceção de vitalidade (Couto et al, 2017;Neto et al, 2012;Withall et al, 2014).…”

Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender a associação entre os conteúdos dos objetivos para a prática de atividade física e a vitalidade subjetiva numa população idosa portuguesa, bem como analisar o efeito de medição das necessidades psicológicas básicas (NPB). Recorreu-se a uma amostra de 299 idosos (234 femininos, 65 masculinos), residentes em Portugal continental, com idades compreendidas entre os 60 e os 90 anos (M=68.43; SD=6.48) e procedeu-se a uma análise de medição simples através do modelo quatro do Process Macro para o SPSS versão 3.5. Através dos resultados obtidos verificou-se que todos os objetivos apresentam uma associação significativa com a satisfação global das NPB e com a vitalidade subjetiva (neste caso, com exceção do objetivo reconhecimento social). Verificou-se ainda que as NPB medeiam a relação entre o conteúdo dos objetivos para a prática de atividade física, saúde, desenvolvimento de capacidades, imagem e a vitalidade subjetiva.

“…A 6-item version was suggested by Bostic et al (2000) who used structural equation modeling techniques to prove the model fit. A 6-item version was also recommended by Castillo et al (2017) and Couto et al (2017) in Spanish and Portuguese, respectively. All 6-item versions removed the only negatively worded item (I don't feel very energetic).…”

Subjective vitality describes the positive feeling of experiencing physical and mental energy, which can lead to purposive actions, but no German instruments exist with action-oriented verbiage: This work supports the development and modification of already existing German Subjective Vitality Scales and provides further evidence for its psychometric properties. In a first step (N = 56) two modified (action-oriented) short-forms were developed. An extension of time perspectives (past, present, future) should also enrich the scale by enhancing the accuracy of self-reports. Study 1 (N = 183) then examined the psychometric properties for each time perspective. Study 2 (N = 27) was a 6-day diary study to identify the reliability of within- and between-person differences in vitality over time and working days with responses recorded three times per day. The exploratory factor analysis from study 1 revealed a three-factor solution with three items each. Test-retest reliability was moderate for the past and future time perspective and less stable for state subjective vitality. The modified German Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS-GM) showed divergent validity with fatigue, negative affect, and optimism, and convergent but distinguishable validity with life satisfaction, positive affect, and perceived self-efficacy. High reliability for daily vitality measures (with lower vitality rates in the morning) was found in study 2, but no substantial variation was found between working days and days off. The SVS-GM shows good psychometric properties in different settings and provides researchers with a 3-item (for cross-sectional or longitudinal studies) and 1-item (for short screenings) version to measure subjective vitality in German-speaking populations.
