Περίληψη
Στόχος της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να εξετάσει το εννοιολογικό πλαίσιο των δυνατών στοιχείων του χαρακτήρα στην ελληνική κουλτούρα μέσω της διερεύνησης της παραγοντικής δομής της ελληνικής εκδοχής του Values In Action-120 (VIA-120) εργαλείου μέτρησης των δυνατών στοιχείων. Ένα δείγμα 3.211 συμμετεχόντων από όλο το ενήλικο ηλικιακό φάσμα χρησιμοποιήθηκε για να εξεταστούν η παραγοντική δομή και τα ψυχομετρικά χαρακτηριστικά του εργαλείου. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι επιβεβαιώθηκε η δομή των 24 δυνατών στοιχείων και ότι ένα μοντέλο πέντε πυρηνικών αρετών βρίσκεται πίσω από αυτήν. Συζητούνται οι ομοιότητες και οι διαφορές ανάμεσα στο ελληνικό μοντέλο και μοντέλα, που αναδύθηκαν σε άλλα πολιτισμικά πλαίσια. Το VIA-114GR παρουσίασε ικανοποιητική αξιοπιστία, συγκλίνουσα εγκυρότητα με δείκτες ευζωίας και αποκλίνουσα εγκυρότητα με αρνητικές εμπειρίες. Παρατηρήθηκαν διαφορές ηλικίας και φύλου αναφορικά με διάφορα δυνατά στοιχεία του χαρακτήρα και αρετές. Επίσης, τα ευρήματα έδειξαν ότι τα πέντε κυρίαρχα δυνατά στοιχεία του ελληνικού δείγματος ήταν η καλοσύνη, η αγάπη, η ειλικρίνεια, η αμεροληψία και η επιμονή, ενώ τα πέντε σπανιότερα δυνατά στοιχεία του χαρακτήρα ήταν η αγάπη για μάθηση, η πνευματικότητα, η προοπτική, η μετριοφροσύνη και ο αυτοέλεγχος. Οι περιορισμοί της μελέτης, προτάσεις για μελλοντικές έρευνες και πρακτικές εφαρμογές του VIA-114GR συζητούνται αναλυτικά.
