本文的主要目的是回顾最近关于乐观对心理和身体健康的有益影响的研究。该综述侧重于纵向或前瞻性设计的研究。潜在的机制也被确定,由此产生乐观的有益影响,特别关注乐观如何引导一个人更适应地应对压力。本文最后简要地考虑了我们自己的理论方法和其他一些相关方法之间的异同。
The primary purpose of this paper is to review recent research examining the beneficial effects of optimism on psychological and physical well-being. The review focuses on research that is longitudinal or prospective in design. Potential mechanisms are also identified whereby the beneficial effects of optimism are produced, focusing in particular on how optimism may lead a person to cope more adaptively with stress. The paper closes with a brief consideration of the similarities and differences between our own theoretical approach and several related approaches that have been taken by others.
