RESUMO

Resumo Esse estudo objetivou verificar se o suporte familiar tem impacto no desenvolvimento de forças de caráter de adolescentes. Para isso, participaram da pesquisa 304 alunos do Ensino Fundamental e Médio, com idades variando entre 13 e 20 anos, ambos os sexos. Os resultados indicaram que as forças de caráter com maior poder de predição em relação aos três fatores do instrumento de avaliação do suporte familiar (Inventário de Percepção do Suporte Familiar -IPSF) foram a gratidão, a vitalidade e a criatividade. Além disso, foi observado que algumas forças estiveram mais presentes nas análises de regressão, em dois dos três fatores do IPSF, sendo elas, amor, sensatez, amor ao aprendizado, criatividade e modéstia. Acredita-se que se a família for capaz de oferecer um ambiente propício que ofereça espaço para o desenvolvimento das forças de caráter de adolescentes, essas características positivas poderão ser vivenciadas mais frequentemente e em outras situações.Abstract This study aimed to verify whether family support has an impact on the development of character strengths in adolescents. For this purpose, we analyzed data from 304 elementary and high school students, with ages ranging from 13 and 20, of both sexes. The results indicated that the character strengths with greater predictive power over the three factors of the Perception of Family Support Inventory (Inventário de Percepção do Suporte Familiar -IPSF) were gratitude, vitality and creativity. In addition, it was observed that some strengths were more present in the regression analyses, in two of the three factors of the IPSF, namely: love, wisdom, love of learning, creativity and modesty. It is believed that if the family is capable to offer an environment that provides room for the development of character strengths in adolescents, these positive characteristics may be experienced more frequently and in other situations.
