ABSTRACT
The article describes the results of studying the relationship between positive personal qualities and depression, as an antagonist of positive parameters. The following positive characteristies were studied: subjective well-being, happiness, hope, subjective success of activity, the ability to determine life goals, emotional maturity, the ability to comprehend the present, satisfaction with life, desire and initiative for personal growth, inclination to curiosity and research, motivation to seek satisfaction with marriage. The level of depression was also measured. Positive characteristics and contrasted depression show correlations among themselves, which indicates a general factor of positivity. A positive person is positive in all spheres of life and at the same time does not show any depressive manifestations. In general, depressivity is antagonistic to a person's positivity (AU)

Resumen Este artículo presenta una reflexión sobre el papel del cuidado en el desarrollo personal (o florecimiento personal, términos usados indistintamente). Parte de la consideración del cuidado como una categoría universal y necesaria de la vida humana, y se pregunta qué papel juega y cómo influye el cuidado en el florecimiento personal. Esta reflexión, si bien se ubica en una perspectiva antropológica humanista multidimensional -esto es, que reconoce todas las riquezas de la persona en sus dimensiones biológica, psicológica y social, todas involucradas en su desarrollo-, analiza específicamente el cuidado en relación con la dimensión psicológica bajo tres aspectos que confluyen en un desarrollo personal maduro: recibir cuidado, cuidar de los otros y adquirir conciencia de ambas realidades.
Abstract This paper looks into the place care holds in personal development. It begins considering care as a universal and necessary category for human life and asks about the role it plays and how it influences one's own personal development. Even though the framework that surrounds this reflection is a multidimensional humanistic anthropological perspective-that is, it recognizes the richness of the person with his different dimensions: biological, psychological, and social, all of them involved in personal development-, it specifically analyzes the psychological dimension of care under three aspects: being taken care of, taking care of others, and being aware of both realities.
Resumo O artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre o papel do cuidado no desenvolvimento pessoal (ou florescimento pessoal, termos usados indiferentemente). Parte da consideração do cuidado como uma categoria universal e necessária da vida humana, e pergunta qual é o papel que ele desempenha e como o cuidado influencia o florescimento pessoal. Essa reflexão, embora localizado numa perspectiva antropológica humanista multidimensional, isto é, que reconhece todas as riquezas da pessoa em suas dimensões biológicas, psicológicas e sociais, todos os envolvidos no seu desenvolvimento, analisa especificamente o cuidado com relação à dimensão psicológica sob três aspectos que se unem em um desenvolvimento pessoal maduro: receber cuidado, cuidar dos outros e adquirir consciência de ambas as realidades.

Na atualidade, observam-se muitos filhos em idade adulta morando com os pais. Muitos deles possuem renda mensal que lhes permitiria viver de forma independente, porém fazem a opção por residir com a família de origem. Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar os fatores psicológicos que contribuem para essa opção. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória com quatro adultos do sexo masculino, com idades iguais ou superiores a 30 anos, que residiam com os pais. Como instrumentos da pesquisa, utilizaram-se uma entrevista semi-estruturada e três pranchas do Teste de A percepção Temática (TAT). Os dados coletados revelaram traços de dependência e imaturidade, passividade e insegurança, além de conflitos relacionados ao complexo de Édipo, considerados fatores emocionais que podem contribuir para o prolongamento da permanência na casa dos pais. Esses fatores apareceram encobertos sob um discurso que salientou, como principais causas da situação, dificuldades sociais e econômicas.
Nowadays, adult children living with their parents is a phenomenon that can be observed in several families. Although many of them have an income that would allow them to live independently, they choose to stay in their families houses. The aim of this paper was to investigate the psychological factors that contribute to this choice. An exploratory qualitative research was carried out with four male adults, of at least 30 years old, who lived with their parents. A semi-structured interview and three boards of the Apperception Thematic Test were used as research instruments. The data collected revealed traits of dependence and immaturity, passivity and insecurity, as well as conflicts related to the Oedipus Complex, all of which can be considered emotional factors that may contribute to the prolonged stay in the parents home. These factors appeared hidden behind speeches that emphasized social and economic difficulties as the main reasons for the situation.
