A investigação científica sobre Bem-Estar, especificamente sobre o Florescimento
Psicológico, ou seja, sobre os níveis elevados de Bem-Estar, é fundamental para a promoção
da saúde mental. Nomeadamente os mecanismos subjacentes ao Florescimento Psicológico, o
que o fomenta e como este se expressa na presença de outras variáveis. Entre as variáveis que
podem estar correlacionadas com o Florescimento Psicológico estão as Orientações para o
Bem-Estar e a Autenticidade. Nesse sentido, este estudo de mediação teve o objetivo de
estudar o papel mediador da Autenticidade na relação entre as Orientações para o Bem-Estar,
Eudaimónicas, Hedónicas e Extrínsecas e o Florescimento Psicológico. Foi um estudo de
caráter correlacional com um delineamento transversal, utilizando uma amostra constituída
por 324 participantes, maiores de 18 anos e com compreensão da língua portuguesa. Os
instrumentos utilizados foram: um Questionário Sociodemográfico; a escala HEEMA
(Hedonic, Eudaimonic, and Extrinsic Motives for Activities) (LeFebvre & Huta, 2021); a
Escala de Autenticidade (Wood et al., 2008); e, a Escala de Florescimento Psicológico
(Diener et al., 2010b). Os resultados permitiram confirmar as hipóteses colocadas, ou seja, de
que a Autenticidade tem um papel de mediador parcial na relação entre a Orientação
Eudaimónica e o Florescimento Psicológico, mas não medeia a relação entre a Orientação
Hedónica e a Orientação Extrínseca e o Florescimento Psicológico. Foi ainda possível
contribuir com informações novas sobre a relação entre as variáveis em estudo, aferir as
limitações do estudo e sugerir possíveis estudos futuros que complementem esta investigação.
ABSTRACT: Scientific research on Well-Being, namely on Psychological Flourishing, that is, on high levels of Well-Being, is fundamental to promoting mental health. Namely the mechanisms underlying Psychological Flourishing, what fosters it and how it is expressed in the presence of other variables. Among the variables that may be correlated with Psychological Flourishing are the Orientations for Well-Being and Authenticity. In this sense, this mediation study aimed to study the mediating role of Authenticity in the relationship between the Orientations for Wellbeing, Eudaimonic, Hedonic and Extrinsic and Psychological Flourishing. It was a correlational study with a cross-sectional design, using a sample composed of 324 participants, over 18 years old and able to understand the Portuguese language. The instruments used were: a Sociodemographic Questionnaire; the HEEMA scale (Hedonic, Eudaimonic, and Extrinsic Motives for Activities) (LeFebvre & Huta, 2021); the Authenticity Scale (EA) (Wood et al., 2008); and, the Psychological Flourishing Scale (Diener et al., 2010b). The results, made it possible to confirm the hypotheses raised, that is, that Authenticity has a partial mediating role in the relationship between Eudaimonic Orientation and Psychological Flourishing, but does not mediate the relationship between Hedonic Orientation and Extrinsic Orientation and Psychological Flourishing. It was also possible to contribute to new information about the relationship between the variables under study, assess the limitations of the study and suggest possible future studies that complement this research.
