一般倾向于充满希望（乐观）和否认以后健康问题的相对风险（不切实际的乐观）都被认为可以预测促进健康的行为；尽管方向不同。在研究1 （n = 72）中，不切实际的乐观主义和乐观主义相互作用预测6周内运动行为的变化；那些在这两个方面得分都高的人，在他们的锻炼报告中显示出最大的下降。在研究2 （n = 60）中，参加冠心病预防讲座后，这两个维度得分高的人冠心病预防知识的增加幅度最小。结果支持两种乐观人格构念的判别效度，同时也暗示它们作为健康促进行为决定因素的共同重要性。
A general predisposition toward hopefulness (optimism) and a negation of relative risk of later health Problems (unrealistic optimism) have both been thought to predict health-promoting behavior; albeit in differing directions. In Study I (n = 72), unrealistic optimism and optimism interacted to predict changes in exercise behavior across 6 weeks; those high on both dimensions showed the largest decrease an their reports of exercise. In Study 2 (n = 60), those high on both dimensions showed the smallest increase in their coronary heart disease (CHD) prevention knowledge after attending a CHD prevention lecture. The results support the discriminant validity of the two optimism personality constructs whit also implicating their joint importance as determinants of health promoting behaviors.
