以192名女性专业人员为样本，考察了气质性乐观的结构效度和预测效用。通过使用协方差结构模型与潜在变量，乐观（Scheier & Carver，1985）和自我掌握（Pearlin & Schools，1978）被发现是经验上不同的，虽然实质上相关，结构。此外，虽然乐观和自我掌握显着负相关的抑郁症状，只有自我掌握是独立相关的症状水平。此外，没有证据表明乐观和自我控制相互作用会影响抑郁症状。这些结果表明，乐观的明显预测能力可能来自于它与自我控制的大量重叠。评估和解释的乐观和自我掌握的影响进行了讨论。
The construct validity and predictive utility of dispositional optimism were examined in a sample of 192 women professionals. By using covariance structure modeling with latent variables, optimism (Scheier & Carver, 1985) and self-mastery (Pearlin & Schooler, 1978) were found to be empirically distinct, although substantially correlated, constructs. Furthermore, although optimism and self-mastery were significantly and negatively correlated with symptoms of depression, only self-mastery was independently associated with symptom levels. In addition, no evidence was found that optimism and self-mastery interact to influence depressive symptoms. These results suggest that the apparent predictive power of optimism may derive from its substantial overlap with self-mastery. Implications for the assessment and interpretation of optimism and self-mastery are discussed.
