Avalia o do Bem-Estar Subjetivo (BES): Aspectos Conceituais e Metodológicos

Aiming to systematize an integrative review on subjective well-being and its instruments of measurement from the keyword subjective well-being on the databases LILACS, SciELO, MedLine, PsycINFO and PEPsic (1970-2008), 215 studies were analyzed. The actuality of the studies was highlighted, as well as tools used empirically, such as the Positive and Negative Affection Scale (PANAS), Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), Life Satisfaction Inventory: The Form and scale of subjective well-being (EBES). The present analysis points out the need for development of contextualized national instruments, in addition to deepening the theoretical and empirical validation of appropriate international instruments.
