    Este trabajo presenta las aportaciones empíricas y teóricas de la Psicología Positiva, enfatizando su relación con la teoría moral aristotélica. La investigación empírica llevada a cabo desde la Psicología Positiva apoya un cierto modelo teórico del bienestar, próximo a la tesis moral aristotélica: la felicidad y el bienestar consisten en el ejercicio de las virtudes. Las implicaciones que para la educación se derivan son importantes, especialmente en la formación del profesorado. Si sus resultados son correctos, necesitamos prestar una mayor atención a las virtudes y a las fortalezas de carácter, tanto en la práctica docente como en las políticas educativas.

    This paper presents the empirical and theoretical results of Positive Psychology, emphasizing its relation with Aristotelian moral theory. Empirical research in Positive Psychology contributes a certain theoretical model about well-being, close to the Aristotelian moral thesis that happiness and well-being consists in the exercise of virtues. The implications for education that be derived are important, especially in teacher’s training. If its results are correct, we need to pay major attention to virtues and character strengths, both in teaching practice and education policies.
