          Resumen Los valores personales influyen en el comportamiento, los sentimientos y la vida de las personas, pero también, el uso de Internet cuya penetración se espera sigue expandiéndose por todo el mundo. Los valores determinan las actitudes y los comportamientos de las personas, y también afectan las relaciones que las personas mantienen con los demás y con ellas mismas. Además, esas relaciones se ven influenciadas por la adopción y el uso de Internet, lo que está cambiando la forma en que las personas interactúan y se relacionan. Así, tanto los valores como el uso de Internet, impactan en la percepción del Bienestar (WB) de las personas. El presente estudio analiza la influencia de los valores personales en el uso de Internet y la percepción del Bienestar en una muestra de 33123 encuestados de la Encuesta Social Europea (2016), 51 % de mujeres encuestadas y 47.9 % hombres de 15 y más años, de diferentes países europeos. De esta forma, en primer lugar, se ha aplicado un Análisis Factorial Exploratorio sobre datos relacionados con los valores personales, y se han definido cuatro perfiles diferentes. En segundo lugar, se ha analizado y correlacionado individualmente el nivel de uso de Internet y la satisfacción con la vida que reportan las personas para analizar su influencia en cada perfil. Finalmente, se ha considerado la interacción de ambas variables. Cuando el valor p es significativo (p < .05), el perfil individual modera la relación entre el uso de Internet y la satisfacción con la vida. Los resultados demuestran que los valores personales influyen en el uso de Internet y la satisfacción con la vida.

              Happiness unpacked: positive emotions increase life satisfaction by building resilience.

              Happiness-a composite of life satisfaction, coping resources, and positive emotions-predicts desirable life outcomes in many domains. The broaden-and-build theory suggests that this is because positive emotions help people build lasting resources. To test this hypothesis, the authors measured emotions daily for 1 month in a sample of students (N = 86) and assessed life satisfaction and trait resilience at the beginning and end of the month. Positive emotions predicted increases in both resilience and life satisfaction. Negative emotions had weak or null effects and did not interfere with the benefits of positive emotions. Positive emotions also mediated the relation between baseline and final resilience, but life satisfaction did not. This suggests that it is in-the-moment positive emotions, and not more general positive evaluations of one's life, that form the link between happiness and desirable life outcomes. Change in resilience mediated the relation between positive emotions and increased life satisfaction, suggesting that happy people become more satisfied not simply because they feel better but because they develop resources for living well.
