Este livro aborda alguns dos temas emergentes na área da Psicologia Positiva, representando um importante convite tanto a pesquisadores da área como a novos leitores interessados nessa ciência dedicada ao bem-estar, à promoção de saúde e à potencialização das qualidades e virtudes humanas. Na primeira parte do livro apresentamos aspectos teóricos e conceituais da Psicologia Positiva, como o sentido de vida e a covitalidade, bem como reflexões sobre a segunda onda da Psicologia Positiva, a PP 2.0. Na segunda parte abordamos a aplicação dessa perspectiva em contextos como os da saúde, do trânsito, da educação básica e superior, bem como da aposentadoria. A terceira parte traz como temas especiais os jogos eletrônicos, os direitos LGBTQI+, a religiosidade/espiritualidade, a adoção, a conjugalidade e os programas de promoção de saúde. Esses capítulos contribuem para a construção de uma Psicologia Positiva brasileira capaz de responder criticamente aos desafios que nos são cotidianamente apresentados.

Crowd Simulation

Research into the methods and techniques used in simulating crowds has developed extensively within the last few years, particularly in the areas of video games and film. Despite recent impressive results when simulating and rendering thousands of individuals, many challenges still exist in this area. The comparison of simulation with reality, the realistic appearance of virtual humans and their behavior, group structure and their motion, and collision avoidance are just some examples of these challenges. For most of the applications of crowds, it is now a requirement to have real-time simulations – which is an additional challenge, particularly when crowds are very large. Crowd Simulation...

Psychological Selection and Optimal Experience Across Cultures

What does Western science know about the relationship between individual well-being and cultural trends? What can learn from other cultural traditions? What do the recent advancements in positive psychology teach us on this issue, particularly the eudaimonic framework, which emphasizes the connections between personal well-being and social welfare? People grow and live in cultures that deeply influence their values, aspirations and behaviors. However, individuals in their turn play an active role in building their own goals, growth trajectories and social roles, at the same time influencing culture trends. This process, defined psychological selection, is related to the individual pursuit of...

Assessing Well-Being

The Sandvik, Diener, and Seidlitz (1993) paper is another that has received widespread attention because it documented the fact that self-report well-being scales correlate with a number of other methods of measuring the same concepts, such as with reports by knowledgeable “informants” (family and friends), expe- ence sampling measurement, and the memory for good versus bad life events. A single factor was found to underlie measures using different methods, and a n- ber of different well-being self-report measures were found to correlate with the non-self-report measures. Thus, although the self-report measures of well-being are imperfect, and can be in uenced by response artifacts, they...

Well-being for Public Policy
