Resumo: This study aimed to analyze an intervention on Strengths Based Character Education for the Elderly (Educafi) and its effects on the variables character strengths, psychological well-being, life satisfaction and depressive symptoms. Forty-one elderly people participated in the research, divided into three groups: experimental, active control and control. Participants answered the same questionnaires in three moments: pretest, post-test and follow up. Statistically significant results were obtained for depressive symptoms, but not for the positive constructs assessed. Elderly people who participated in Educafi decreased the levels of these symptoms from the pretest to the post-test. However, in the follow up they returned to the initial levels. The results are discussed and suggestions for Educafi and other positive interventions for the elderly are presented.

Participaram da pesquisa 41 idosos distribuídos em três grupos: experimental, controle ativo e controle. Todos responderam aos mesmos questionários em três momentos, pré, pós e pós-teste tardio. Resultados estatisticamente significativos foram obtidos para os sintomas depressivos, mas não para os construtos positivos analisados. Idosos que participaram da Educafi diminuíram os níveis dessa sintomatologia do pré para o pós-teste, porém no pós-teste tardio retornaram aos patamares iniciais. Os resultados são discutidos e sugestões para essa e outras intervenções positivas para idosos são apresentadas.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2021-10-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/3045510.1590/0102.3772e372120Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 37 (2021)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 37 (2021)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 37 (2021)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 37 (2021)1806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
