Abstract(s)
O estabelecimento e sensação do propósito de vida é um importante e fundamental
marco do desenvolvimento humano, que serve como estratégia adaptativa ao longo de todas as
etapas da nossa vida. No entanto, a forma como procuramos esses propósitos e o próprio
conteúdo dessas metas distingue-nos e torna todo este processo único e específico para cada
individuo.
A presente dissertação pretende explorar a relação entre os motivos hedónicos e
eudemónicos tal como definidas pelos trabalhos de Huta e Waterman (2014) e o propósito de
vida nestas três facetas relevantes: o propósito sentido, as formas de exploração (procura ativa,
reativa a eventos significativos e pela aprendizagem social) e as orientações do propósito (prosocial,
financeira, criativa e para o reconhecimento pessoal), numa amostra da população
portuguesa. Como principais resultados foi possível perceber uma relação significativa entre os
motivos eudemónicos com o propósito, as formas de exploração proativa e reativa, e as
orientações pró-social e para o reconhecimento pessoal, importante para refletir sobre
estratégias que aumentem os níveis de bem-estar.
ABSTRACT: The establishment and feeling that we have purposes is an important developmental achievement, which serves as an adaptive strategy through all stages of our lives. However, the way we explore those purposes and the actual content of these objectives and process is what distinguishes us and makes all unique. The current dissertation aims to explore the relationship between hedonic and eudaimonic orientations as defined by Huta & Waterman (2014) work, and the purpose of life in these three important facets: the sense of purpose, the pathways to purpose (proactive engagement, reaction to significant life events and social learning), and purpose orientations (prosocial, financial, creative and personal recognition) in a sample of portuguese population. As main results it was possible to perceive a significant relation between eudemonic motives with purpose, proactive and reactive exploration forms, and the pro-social and personal recognition orientations, important to reflect on strategies to increase the levels of well-being.
