乐观和希望这两个心理结构反映了人们对未来的积极期望,已经引起了相当多的研究关注,每个都是一些叙述性评论的主题。在当前的荟萃分析中,我们研究了乐观与希望的关系,并研究了乐观和希望的几个潜在相关性和后果。我们的研究结果表明,乐观和希望是可以区分的。此外,两者都与心理和身体健康的几个指标有关,并且都与其他人格特质(如五因素模型特征和特质情感)有经验上的区别。最后,我们讨论了未来的研究方向乐观和希望。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Optimism and hope two psychological constructs reflecting positive expectations about one's future have garnered considerable research attention and each has been the subject of several narrative reviews. In the current meta-analysis, we examined the optimism-hope relationship and we examined several potential correlates and consequences of optimism and hope. Our results suggest that optimism and hope are distinguishable from each other. Furthermore, both are related to several indices of psychological and physical well-being and both are empirically distinguishable from other personality traits, such as the Five Factor Model characteristics and trait affectivity. We conclude by discussing directions for future research on optimism and hope. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
