Resumo: | The present study consists of exploratory research involving the elderly, with the objective of understanding and describing the emotional andcognitive aspects of their experiences of happiness. In view of the increase in longevity, several research studies have been carried out with regard to the quality of life in old age, well-being and satisfactory aging. The concept of successful aging has been arousing the interest of a number of researchers, as the perception of unhappiness in old age needs to be demystified, opening the way for a more positive interpretationof this stage of life. Participating in this study were three old people, not institutionalized, 2 females and 1 male. It was found, by means of phenomenological analysis, that their moments of happiness are related to family and social contact, to being independent and having the capacity to work, providing them with a feeling of personal value, self-esteem and well-being. |

Tendo em vista o aumento da longevidade, várias pesquisas vêm sendo realizadas a respeito da qualidade de vida na velhice, bem-estar e envelhecimento satisfatório. O termo envelhecimento bem sucedido vem despertando o interesse de vários pesquisadores, pois a visão de velhice infeliz precisa ser desmistificada, dando lugar a uma concepção mais positiva com relação a essa fase da vida. Participaram deste estudo três idosos, não-institucionalizados, sendo dois do sexo feminino e um do sexo masculino. Constatou-se, por meio da análise fenomenológica, que seus momentos de felicidade estão relacionados ao contato familiar e social, à autonomia e à capacidade para trabalhar, proporcionando sentimento de valor pessoal, auto-estima e bem-estar.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2008-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/6997Psychological Studies; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 25 Núm. 2 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 25 n. 2 (2008): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/6997/4572Copyright (c) 2022 Márcia Maria Carvalho LUZ, Mauro Martins AMATUZZIhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLUZ, Márcia Maria Carvalho AMATUZZI, Mauro Martins 2024-04-24T19:26:35Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/6997Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-24T19:26:35Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
