Resumen
La depresión es la nueva epidemia del siglo XXI, siendo una enfermedad con una prevalencia que se incrementa cada año a nivel mundial. A su vez, la sociedad promueve la búsqueda del bienestar. La Psicología Positiva plantea que las personas que reflejan niveles mayores de determinadas fortalezas psicológicas padecerán menos el efecto negativo de estresores diarios, tendrán un mayor nivel de bienestar, y podrán evitar la aparición de problemas psicológicos, como la sintomatología depresiva. El objetivo principal de esta Tesis consistió en conocer y probar la eficacia de las intervenciones basadas en Psicología Positiva para disminuir la sintomatología depresiva y aumentar el bienestar subjetivo y/o psicológico de las personas mayores. Para lograrlo, se llevaron a cabo tres estudios diferentes. Los resultados concluyen que las intervenciones basadas en Psicología Positiva son eficaces para disminuir la sintomatología depresiva e incrementar el bienestar subjetivo y/o psicológico en personas mayores.

To achieve this, three different studies were carried out.
