Abstract
La Psicología positiva es una ciencia social de desarrollo relativamente reciente que analiza las bases del bienestar psicológico a partir de las fortalezas y virtudes de cada individuo y de sus potencialidades de influir en los otros para el logro de la plenitud y desarrollo personal. En el marco de la Psicología positiva se aplicó el test VIA-IS a 186 estudiantes de primer curso de Grado en Trabajo Social en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid durante el curso 2011-2012. El objetivo de la presente investigación era establecer el perfil de virtudes y fortalezas que el estudiante de Grado considera claves en su futuro desempeño como trabajador social. Las virtudes de Humanidad y Justicia fueron las que se consideraron más relevantes por parte de los estudiantes, tal y como se esperaba, puesto que estas virtudes son básicas a la hora de influir en la voluntad de otras personas, desde el respeto de la individualidad del usuario, hacia un estado de bienestar (Peterson & Seligman, 2004)

The aim of this investigation was to establish the profile of virtues and strengths which the student considers the key for the future performance as a social worker. The virtues of Humanity and Fairness were considered the most relevant by the students, as expected, because of these virtues are essential when they come to influence the will of others, respecting the individuality of user to a state of wellbeing (Peterson &Seligman, 2004).
