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.
