作者调查了社会支持和应对方式在多大程度上解释了更大的乐观情绪和更好地适应压力生活事件之间的关联。男女大学生在大学第一学期开始和结束时都完成了感知压力、抑郁、友谊网络规模和感知社会支持的测量。应对能力在第一学期末进行评估。在大学第一学期开始时评估的乐观程度越高，预期与大学第一学期期间压力和抑郁的较小增加以及感知的社会支持（但不是友谊网络规模）的较大增加相关。中介分析与一个模型是一致的，在该模型中，社会支持的增加以及更多地使用积极的重新解释和成长有助于乐观主义者经历的更好的调整。
The authors investigated the extent to which social support and coping account for the association between greater optimism and better adjustment to stressful life events. College students of both genders completed measures of perceived stress, depression, friendship network size, and perceived social support at the beginning and end of their 1st semester of college. Coping was assessed at the end of the 1st semester. Greater optimism, assessed at the beginning of the 1st semester of college, was prospectively associated with smaller increases in stress and depression and greater increases in perceived social support (but not in friendship network size) over the course of the 1st semester of college. Mediational analyses were consistent with a model in which increases in social support and greater use of positive reinterpretation and growth contributed to the superior adjustment that optimists experienced.
