Resumo(s)
O bem-estar psicológico é um conceito multifacetado e influenciado por múltiplas dimensões, entre as quais se destacam as orientações hedónica e eudaimónica. Estas orientações refletem diferentes formas de estruturar a experiência e de procurar bem-estar, seja através da satisfação e prazer imediato (hedonia), seja pela busca de crescimento pessoal e sentido de vida (eudaimonia). Embora amplamente estudadas a nível internacional, as relações entre estas
orientações, o propósito de vida e o florescimento psicológico permanecem pouco exploradas em Portugal, justificando a relevância deste estudo.
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre as orientações hedónica e eudaimónica e o florescimento psicológico, testando o papel mediador do propósito de vida.
Participaram 114 adultos portugueses, que responderam a um questionário composto por medidas sociodemográficas e pelas versões portuguesas da HEEMA (orientações hedónica e eudaimónica), da BEP (propósito de vida) e da MHC–SF (florescimento psicológico).
Os resultados indicaram que apenas a orientação eudaimónica apresentou um contributo significativo para o florescimento psicológico, mediado totalmente pelo propósito de vida. A
orientação hedónica, embora positivamente associada ao florescimento, não revelou efeitos significativos de mediação. Estes achados reforçam a importância do propósito de vida como
mecanismo explicativo que liga motivações eudaimónicas ao bem-estar duradouro.
Os resultados são discutidos à luz da literatura contemporânea sobre o florescimento e sugerem implicações relevantes para intervenções psicológicas focadas no desenvolvimento do sentido e da realização pessoal.
Psychological well-being is a multifaceted concept influenced by multiple dimensions, among which hedonic and eudaimonic orientations stand out. These orientations reflect different ways of structuring experience and seeking well-being, either through immediate satisfaction and pleasure (hedonia) or through the pursuit of personal growth and meaning in life (eudaimonia). Although widely studied internationally, the relationships between these orientations, life purpose, and psychological flourishing remain under-explored in Portugal, justifying the relevance of this study. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between hedonic and eudaimonic orientations and psychological flourishing, testing the mediating role of life purpose. One hundred and fourteen Portuguese adults participated, responding to a questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic measures and the Portuguese versions of the HEEMA (hedonic and eudaimonic orientations), the BEP (life purpose) and the MHC–SF (psychological flourishing). The results indicated that only eudaimonic orientation made a significant contribution to psychological flourishing, mediated entirely by life purpose. Hedonic orientation, although positively associated with flourishing, did not reveal significant mediating effects. These findings reinforce the importance of life purpose as an explanatory mechanism linking eudaimonic motivations to lasting well-being. The results are discussed considering contemporary literature on flourishing and suggest relevant implications for psychological interventions focused on the development of meaning and personal fulfilment.
