As forças de caráter podem contribuir com a minimização de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, uma vez que potencializam o desenvolvimento do bem-estar psicológico e subjetivo. Ainda não há consenso quanto à estrutura fatorial das forças de caráter e, em razão disso, o presente estudo teve por objetivo replicar empiricamente a classificação teórica das forças de caráter por meio de análises fatoriais exploratórias. Foram participantes 1500 estudantes universitários, com faixa etária entre 16 e 64 anos (M= 2,25; DP= 7,96), que responderam à Escala de Forças de Caráter. A solução fatorial mais adequada foi a de seis fatores, com variância explicada total de 44% e confiabilidades entre .88 e .93. Os resultados encontrados são discutidos à luz da literatura.
