The first number of this second volume of PJBSR includes five original papers from researchers of Miguel Torga Institute, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of Coimbra's University, and from University Hospital of Coimbra. Although apparently the articles address diverse themes, there are unifying aspects for the five papers of this number. On the one hand, all the articles reflect research conducted with particularly vulnerable populations of our society: the elderly, patients with lung cancer, young people hosted in foster homes, and informal caregivers of people with disabilities. On the other hand, it is noted that all these manuscripts illustrate a common concern: to study the role of some protective factors in the intra- and interpersonal functioning of individuals. Thus, from a very close perspective to positive psychology, the benefits of human strengths and virtues to the individual's well-being are studied, and a comprehensive effort on the mediating role that some of these variables against the psychopathology risk factors.
