Abstract
El estudio del envejecimiento a través de la lente de la Psicolo-
gía Positiva permite mirar más allá de la disminución normalmente asociada
con el avance de la edad y considerar experiencias y estrategias gratificantes
para promover un envejecimiento con propósito. Con el objetivo de reunir
evidencia sobre los principales avances conceptuales y empíricos que ilus-
tran el compromiso de la Psicología Positiva con los temas del envejeci-
miento, se llevó a cabo una revisión de alcance. Los artículos que tenían
"Psicología Positiva" y "Envejecimiento" (o palabras similares al envejeci-
miento) en su título, resumen o palabras clave fueron examinados en bases
de datos principales y se buscaron términos relacionados con el envejeci-
miento en revistas bien conocidas de psicología positiva. Esta estrategia
arrojó 48 artículos, 33 trabajos científicos originales y 15 revisiones. Se pre-
sentan los principales temas, diseños de estudio e instrumentos y se discu-
ten los puntos finales de acuerdo con la perspectiva hedónica o eudaimóni-
ca de los estudios. Se destacan las direcciones futuras relacionadas con la
importancia de constructos comprensivos y estrategias metodológicas en el
estudio del avance de la edad.
The study of aging through the lens of Positive Psychology al- lows looking beyond the decline normally associated with advancing of age and to consider rewarding experiences and strategies to promote a mean- ingful aging. In order to gather evidence on the key conceptual and empiri- cal advancements that illustrate the commitment of Positive Psychology with aging issues a scoping review was conducted. Papers having “Positive Psychology” AND “Aging” (or similar words to aging) on their title, ab- stract or key-words were screened across main databases and aging related terms were searched in well-known journals of positive psychology. This strategy yielded 48 articles, 33 original scientific papers and 15 reviews. Main themes, study designs and instruments are presented and the end- points are discussed according to the hedonic or eudaimonic perspective of the studies. Future directions related with the importance of comprehen- sive constructs and method approaches in the study of advancing age are highlighted.
