OVEJERO BRUNA, María Mercedes; CARDENAL HERNAEZ, Violeta  y  ORTIZ-TALLO, Margarita. Character Strengths and Biopsychosocial Well-being: a systematic review. Escritos de Psicología [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.3, pp.4-14. ISSN 1989-3809.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5231/psy.writ.2016.2311.

This study is a systematically review of the Values in Action (VIA) model of virtues and strengths and its correlation with well-being, life satisfaction, happiness, resilience, and health in different populations. A total of 47 studies were reviewed. The results showed that psychological strengths were associated with higher levels of happiness, well-being, resilience, health, and positive affect, and weakly associated with negative affect. These results are similar across different settings and ages. We discuss the results of the studies and consider their implications for future research related to the development of psychological strengths in individuals, groups, and society.

Palabras clave : Character strengths,; VIA Model; Resilience; Well-being; Happiness; Health.
