Abstract

This study, carried out with a theater group´s participants, aimed: a) to investigate subjective well-being; b) to identify the resilience; c) to evaluate social support perception; d) to correlate the psychological variables: subjective well-being, resilience, and social support perception. Methods: Participants: 12 elderly (mean age 68 years ± 10.57). Results: The participants presented positive subjective well-being, they indicated positive levels of psychosocial adaptation, evaluated by resilience and they had told to perceive social support in the following aspects: emotional and practical. The correlations indicated that the most aged had higher resilience; higher the time participation in the group, higher vitality; higher perception of social support, higher the positive affect; the ones who presented more positive feelings, have higher level of life satisfaction; by the time they experiment more negative affect they become more resilient.
