ABSTRACT
The research made by Ovejero and Cardenal (2015) seeks
to know the human strengths from a gender perspective.
The study of human strengths is something that traditional
psychology had not taken into account until Seligman
and Peterson (2004) carried out investigations in different
cultures with different religious traditions and unique life
forms. Such research gave opportunity to categorize and
define 24 human strengths, that are valued in all traditions,
and which make life worth living. Ovejero and Cardenal
(2015) in their article add the vision of gender, a way of looking
at current reality that also allows to extend the use of
qualitative methods.
