Resumo: | Prosociality is a characteristic of people’s behaviors aimed at the benefit of others. Character strengths are positive personality traits that enable people to overcome the challenges of everyday life. This study identified relationships and predictions between character strengths and prosocial behaviors present in those involved in social actions as volunteers and non-volunteers. The participants were 784 people aged between 18 and 69 years (M = 36.70; SD = 12.90) from all Brazilian regions, the majority being female (77.30%). Of all participants, 34.94% did some volunteer work. A sociodemographic questionnaire was used, and two scales in the Portuguese version: the Pro-Sociability Scale and the Character Strengths Scale, answered the online survey. To analyze the data obtained, Pearson’s correlation and linear regression using the Enter method were performed, and a t-test was used to compare the groups. The results showed significant and positive associations between the variables investigated. Interpersonal and intellectual character strengths tended to be more closely associated with prosocial behaviors. The model that was extracted by the linear regression was statistically significant, with a prediction in 64.40% of the cases. Ultimately, the group that performed social actions showed higher averages in character strengths and prosocial behaviors. The results were discussed considering the current literature. |

Las fuerzas del carácter, en turno, se reconocen como los rasgos positivos de la personalidad, que ayudan a superar los desafíos de la vida cotidiana. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo identificar relaciones y predicciones entre las fortalezas de carácter y las conductas prosociales presentes en personas voluntarias y non voluntarias en acciones sociales. Este estudio analizó 784 personas con edades entre 18 y 69 años (M = 36,70; SD = 12,90), en su mayoría del sexo femenino (77,30%) y de todas las regiones brasileñas. De estos, 34,94% declararon participar en trabajos voluntarios. Se utilizó un cuestionario sociodemográfico para caracterizar la muestra y dos escalas: Escala de Prosociabilidad (EPS) y Escala de Fortalezas del Carácter (EFC), respondieron la encuesta de forma virtual. Para analizar los datos obtenidos se realizó correlación de Pearson y regresión lineal mediante el método Enter y la prueba t para comparar los grupos que realizaron o no acciones sociales. Los resultados mostraron asociaciones significativas y positivas entre las variables investigadas, siendo las fortalezas interpersonales e intelectuales más asociadas con la pro-sociabilidad. En regresión lineal, el modelo fue estadísticamente significativo, con una predicción del 64,40% de los casos. Finalmente, el grupo que realiza acciones sociales mostró mayores promedios en fortalezas personales y conductas prosociales. Los resultados fueron discutidos a la luz de la literatura.A pró-sociabilidade tem sido compreendida como a característica presente em pessoas com comportamentos voltados para o benefício do próximo. As forças de caráter, por sua vez, são reconhecidas como traços de personalidade positivos, que apoiam a superação de desafios da vida cotidiana. O presente trabalho visou a identificar relações e predição entre as forças de caráter e comportamentos pró-sociais presentes em voluntários e não voluntários de ações sociais. Este estudo analisou 784 pessoas com idades entre 18 e 69 anos (M = 36,70; DP = 12,90), sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (77,30%), e de todas as regiões brasileiras. Desses, 34,94% declararam participar de voluntariado. Utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico para caracterização da amostra e duas escalas, Escala de Pró-Sociabilidade (EPS) e Escala de Forças de Caráter (EFC), tendo sido respondidos de maneira virtual. Para analisar os dados obtidos, realizou-se correlação de Pearson, regressão linear pelo método Enter e teste t para comparação entre os grupos que realizavam ou não ações sociais. Os resultados demonstraram associações significativas e positivas entre as variáveis investigadas, uma vez que as forças interpessoais e intelectuais estiveram mais associadas à pró-sociabilidade. Na regressão linear, o modelo foi estatisticamente significativo, registrando-se predição de 64,40% dos casos. Conclui-se que o grupo que realiza ações sociais apresentou maiores médias nas forças pessoais e comportamentos pró-sociais.
