Preferred term

optimism and pessimism: measurement  

Definition

  • Research has shown that optimism and pessimism are important influences on emotional responses to health problems and health-related coping behavior. Optimism and pessimism have been defined differently—and therefore measured differently—by different researchers. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health and Behavior; Optimism and Pessimism: Measurement]
