Scholars assert that this growth is due to the new viewpoint that this theory envisions for the human being. In this new perspective there are the so-called human strengths, resilience, particularly, that added to creativity may potentialize the positive aspects of the individual. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between resilience characteristics and creativity in people who excel in different areas. For this purpose, the scale Pillars of Resilience (EPR), the Creativity Test of BAICA, Thinking and Creating Styles test and the Questionnaire for Creative Achievements were utilized. The sample consisted of 24 people (male = 8, female = 16) with ages ranging from 32 to 60 years old. The participants were divided into two groups: regular people (N = 12) and outstanding people (N = 12). The procedure consisted in applying the aforementioned tools on the participants of each group. The results of the analysis that seek significant differences between the groups showed that differences exist for the group outstanding concerning the following instruments: the EPR, item Positive Acceptance for the Future; the Creativity Tests of BAICA, figural on activity 1, in the characteristic originality, and on verbal activities 2 and 3, the characteristics fluency and originality. Regarding the other instruments, no differences were noticed. Significant relationships between creative production of the participants in the same instruments were also investigated. The results demonstrated significant differences only in the EPR, on items Good Humor and Positive Direction for the Future. Concerning the other instruments, there were no significant differences between groups. As for the differences between genders, the results showed significant differences with the prevalence of males regarding the following instruments: the test Thinking and Creating Styles, styles Nonconformist/Transformer and Logical/Objective; EPR in the positive acceptance for change and positive direction for the future. The remaining instruments demonstrated no significant differences between genders. It is therefore possible to conclude that the objectives were partially met. We suggest further studies on the subject with larger samples. / A Psicologia Positiva vem ganhando cada dia mais destaque no meio cient?fico.
