Abstract(s)
Com o presente estudo pretende verificar-se se a idade, o género e a Força da Fé Religiosa (FFR) influenciam os níveis de Bem-Estar Subjectivo (BES) de adultos idosos. A amostra compreendeu 397 participantes (M = 74 anos), residentes em meio urbano. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; Watson et al., 1988) e o Santa Clara Strenght of Religion Faith Questionnaire – short form (Plante et al., 2002).Foi testado um Modelo Estrutural Preditor do BES em adultos idosos, cujos resultados demonstram que os homens têm menos afectos negativos do que as mulheres; que quanto mais FFR, mais afectos positivos e menos afectos negativos; e, que as mulheres apresentam mais FFR. Os resultados também demonstram que a FFR mitiga a diferença nos afectos negativos entre homens e mulheres.
The present study seeks to determine whether age, gender and the Strength Religious Faith (SRF) influences the level of Subjective Well-Being (SWB). The sample included 397 participants (M= 74 years), residents in urban areas. The scales used were the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson et al., 1988) and the Santa Clara Strenght of Religion Faith Questionnaire – short form (Plante et al., 2002). A Structural Predictor Model of the SWB was tested on old-adults, which show that men are less engaged in negative affect than women; the more SRF, the more positive affects and less negative affects; and women show more SRF. The results also show that SRF mitigates the differences of negative affects between men and women.
