Se comunican los resultados de una investigación que tuvo los siguientes objetivos: (a) identificarlos objetos preferidos para alcanzar la felicidad, y, (b) determinar si los objetos preferidos están asociados con el género, el estado conyugal y la edad. La muestra estuvo integrada por 163 personas: 81 hombres y 82 mujeres, de clase media de la ciudad de Lima. Se solicitó a los sujetos que seleccionaran, de una lista de 15 ítems, tres objetos que consideraban los más importantes para su felicidad. Los resultados señalan que los objetos preferidos fueron: "gozar debuena salud"; "estar bien con Dios" y "tener buena familia". No se encontraron diferencias significativasen la elección de los objetos según el género, aunque sí según la edad y el estado conyugal.

Se examinaron las presuntas relaciones entre felicidad, género, edad y estado conyugal; asimis-mo, se determinaron los niveles de felicidad que con mayor frecuencia experimentan las perso-nas. Se trabajó con 163 sujetos de clase media, solteros y casados, de 20 a 60 años, quienes ab-solvieron la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida de Diener más un ítem que indagó los niveles de felicidad. Los resultados señalan que no existen diferencias significativas entre las puntua-ciones medias de felicidad de varones y mujeres. Según la edad, el único contraste significativo se encontró entre 30 y 50 años y las medias más elevadas correspondieron a los 50 y 60 años. Se halló que las personas casadas son más felices que las solteras. Finalmente, el mayor núme-ro de sujetos reportó sentirse jeliz y los demás niveles agruparon muy pocas frecuencias

Se analiza la probable relación entre gratitud, medida por la Escala de gratitud desarrollada por Alarcón y la felicidad, medida por la Escala de felicidad de Lima, ambas desarrolladas por el mismo autor. El estudio es de tipo sustantivo, con un diseño transeccional causal predictivo en el que participaron 300 personas, 147 varones y 153 mujeres, con edades entre 20 y 30 años, que se encuentran estudiando en universidades públicas y privadas de Lima Metropolitana. Entre los principales resultados observamos que los factores de la gratitud, reciprocidad y obligación moral correlacionan positiva y significativamente con la felicidad (r = .294, p < .01; r = .293, p < .01), así como con los factores sentido positivo de la vida, satisfacción con la vida y realización personal de la Escala de felicidad. El agradecer el beneficio recibido y la satisfacción que esto conlleva tiende a e...

The results of a transcultural research in a sample of Peruvian college students regarding life satisfaction are reported. Life satisfaction is a concept used a a synonymous of happiness. The main problem of this research was to determine which of the variables were “better” predictors of happiness. The participants responded a battery of psychological tests of 171 items which explored six variables considered related to happiness. It was found that the variables “life satisfaction” and “frequency of positive affects” are highly and positive correlated (p<.01).

This paper aims to establish the philosophical framework in which Positive Psychology bases its theoretical assumptions and its view as a philosophy of science. From an ontological standpoint, human beings are the entities investigated through their subjective experience, which is expressed through their behaviors. From the epistemological standpoint, this novel model of psychology is an empirical science, which adopts the hypothetical-deductive model, to determine if its claims have scientific content. From the philosophical anthropology standpoint, Positive Psychology has been influenced by Humanistic Psychology, which considers that humans are unique and unrepeatable beings, who flourish and strive to optimize their inherent psychological potential.
