Abstract:
Optimis memerupakan keyakinan bahwa akan lebih banyak hal baik yang terjadi dari pada hal yang buruk. Individu yang optimis akan berusaha untuk mencapai tujuan meskipun mengalami kesulitan. Pada suami yang mengalami disabilitas, mereka harus menghadapi perubahan fisik yang diakibatkankarena kecelakaan ataupun penyakit. Optimisme dapat mempengaruhi bagaimana individu memandang keterbatasannya saat ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat gambaran optimisme suami yang mengalami disabilitas. Subjek dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 15 orang dengan teknik pengambilan sampel insidental. Penelitian ini menggunakanskalaLOT-R (LifeOrientationTest-Revised) dikembangkan oleh Carver dan Scheier berdasarkan pandangan mereka tentang optimisme. Skala ini terdiri dari 10 aitem yang terdiri dari 6 aitem yang diukur dan 4 aitem filler. Alat ukur yang digunakan memiliki reabilitas 0,675. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa suami yang mengalami disabilitas lebih banyak yang optimis dibandingkan denganyang tidakterkategori (ambivalen). Dari 15 orang, 13 orang optimis dan 2 orang tidak terkategori.Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa meskipun mengalami disabilitas, mereka tetap memiliki keyakinan untuk menghadapi kondisi tersebut Optimism is the faith in believing that more good things will happen than bad things. Optimistic individuals will try to achieve goals despite difficulties. For husbands with disabilities, they must face physical changes caused by accidents or illness. Optimism can influence how individuals perceive their current limitations. This study aimed to see an overview of the optimism of husbands with disabilities. The subjects in this study were 15 people with incidental sampling techniques. This study used the LOT-R (LifeOrientation Test-Revised) scale developed by Carver and Scheier based on their views on optimism. This scale consisted of 10 items consisting of 6 items measured and 4 filler items. The measuring instrument used had a reliability of 0.675. The results showed that more husbands who experienced disability were optimistic than those that were not categorized (ambivalent). Out of the 15 people, 13 people were optimistic and 2 people were not categorized. This indicated that even though they have disabilities, they still have the confidence to deal with these conditions.

Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat optimisme mahasiswa dan kebutuhan untuk mengembangkan Web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) sebagai strategi untuk meningkatkan optimisme mahasiswa. Convenience sampling yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data pada 283 mahasiswa. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu Life Orientation Test – Revised (LOT-R) dan angket kebutuhan media Web-based ACT. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tingkat optimisme mahasiswa di Jakarta yaitu sedang (16.6 dari total skor 24). Secara keseluruhan 44 mahasiswa (16%) memiliki tingkat optimisme rendah, 159 mahasiswa (56%) memiliki tingkat optimisme sedang, 80 mahasiswa (28%) memiliki tingkat optimisme tinggi. Perempuan memiliki tingkat optimisme yang lebih tinggi daripada laki-laki (16.7 vs 16.3). 158 mahasiswa (63%) merasa sangat perlu adanya media web bantu diri (self-help web) untuk meningkatkan optimisme agar mahasiswa dapat meningkatkan optimisme. Diketahui juga bahwa pengembangan Web-based ACT juga sangat penting untuk membantu meningkatkan optimisme mahasiswa. Abstract This study aims to determine the level of student optimism and the need to develop Web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a strategy to increase student optimism. Convenience sampling was used to collect data on 283 students. The instruments used are the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) and the ACT Web-based media needs questionnaire. The results showed that the level of student optimism in Jakarta was moderate (16.6 out of a total score of 24). Overall 44 students (16%) had a low level of optimism, 159 students (56%) had a moderate level of optimism, 80 students (28%) had a high level of optimism. Women had higher levels of optimism than men (16.7 vs 16.3). 158 students (63%) felt the need for a self-help web to increase optimism so that students could increase their optimism. It is also known that the development of Web-based ACT is also very important to help increase student optimism.

Abstract:
Currently, some students habitually answering questions with one answer. They only use the certain formula or certain steps to get answer. Thus, the ability of problem-solving and optimism that should have owned by students is not visible because of the habit of completing routine problem. Whereas the ability problem-solving and optimism is needed in the face of all the challenges that occur. This is becaused people who are able to solve the problem would be receive every event, whether it is good or bad events. They will seek the solution of problem faced and anticipate every possibility that occurs to the measures that have been selected. This study aims to determine (1) the ability of students to problem-solving and (2) optimism of students in problem-solving. This is qualitative research with test of problem solving and guided interview of optimism as instruments. Subject of this research is six students grade VIII of Junior High School at Peukan Pidie, Aceh. The results show that three students have good problem-solving ability, three other students have enough abilitiy in problem-solving. Optimism of students in problem-solving based on the dimensions of optimism is three students optimist at dimension PMG, three other students not optimist. One student was optimist on the dimensions of PVG, five other students not optimist. Five students are optimist on the dimensions of PSG and PMB, one student not optimist. All students are optimist on the dimensions of PVB. Two students are optimist on the dimensions of PSB, four students are not optimist

Abstract: The high competition in entering the world of work requires optimism in prospective job seekers, 8th semester undergraduate students are one of them. The optimism variable has often been studied before, but research on optimism in the context of facing the world of work has not been done much. So far, no research has been found that examines the relationship between self-esteem and optimism in the world of work. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-esteem and optimism in facing the world of work in final year students. The research participants were 134 undergraduate students from the 2018 class who were taking semester 8 at the State University of Malang who were selected using cluster random sampling and accidental sampling techniques. The data collection method used a questionnaire consisting of a self-esteem scale with a reliability of 0.8587 and a scale of optimism in facing the world of work with a reliability of 0.936. The hypothesis was tested using Pearson's product moment correlation with a coefficient correlation of 0.620 (p < klo0.05). The results of this study indicate that there is a positive relationship between self-esteem and optimism in facing the world of work in 8th semester undergraduate students, State University of Malang, which means that the higher a person's self-esteem, the higher the level of optimism in facing the world of work. In order to have high optimism in facing the world of work, students are advised to increase their self-esteem. Abstrak: Tingginya persaingan dalam memasuki dunia kerja membutuhkan optimisme dalam diri para calon pencari kerja, mahasiswa S1 yang sedang menempuh semester 8 adalah salah satunya.

Abstract:
Abstract Optimism has been found to be associated with physical health and interpersonal well-being. Spouses also play an important role on people’s health especially in late life. Yet, little is known about how a spouse’s optimism might be associated with an individual’s cognitive health. This study examined how actor and partner optimism in couples are associated with cognitive ability. Results showed positive associations between actor optimism and cognitive ability (.03 ≤ rs ≤ .17), and partner optimism and cognitive ability (.03 ≤ rs ≤.04), which mostly persisted over time. Further, partner optimism moderated actor optimism. Although highly optimistic people had higher cognitive ability regardless of partner’s optimism (r = .02, p = .22), people particularly benefitted from being married to an optimist (r = .05, p &lt; .001). These results suggest that we need to consider the context of spousal relationships when understanding optimism and cognitive health in older-adulthood.

Abstract:
The replay of task-relevant trajectories is known to contribute to memory consolidation and improved task performance. A wide variety of experimental data show that the content of replayed sequences is highly specific and can be modulated by reward as well as other prominent task variables. However, the rules governing the choice of sequences to be replayed still remain poorly understood. One recent theoretical suggestion is that the prioritization of replay experiences in decision-making problems is based on their effect on the choice of action. We show that this implies that subjects should replay sub-optimal actions that they dysfunctionally choose rather than optimal ones, when, by being forgetful, they experience large amounts of uncertainty in their internal models of the world. We use this to account for recent experimental data demonstrating exactly pessimal replay, fitting model parameters to the individual subjects’ choices.

Abstract:
The emergence of the concept of school well-being provides a reference to the ideal school concept that is able to promote the well-being of its students. However, implementing this concept is not easy. School well-being is the subjective assessment by students of how their school meets their basic needs. These basic needs dimensions include having, loving, being, and health. Incorporating perceived social support and optimism into school well-being is a positive action. This study aims to examine the simultaneous role of perceived social support and optimism on school well-being among adolescents. The population of this study consisted of adolescents in the city of Karawang, with a sample of 203 individuals. The sampling technique used was quota sampling. The data in this study were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of this study indicate that the relationship between perceived social support, optimism, and school well-being is found to be significant with a significance value of 0.000. R-square value is 0.235, meaning that 23.5% of the variation in school well-being is influenced by perceived social support and optimism, while the remaining 76.5% is due to other unmeasured variables in this study. Keywords: Adolescents, optimism, perceived social support, school well-being Hadirnya konsep school well-being memberikan referensi mengenai konsep sekolah ideal yang mampu menyejahterakan siswanya. Namun demikian untuk mengimplementasikan konsep tersebut tidaklah mudah. School well-being ialah penilaian yang berisifat subjektif oleh siswa terhadap bagaimana sekolahnya yang akan memenuhi kebutuhan dasarnya. Dimensi kebutuhan dasar tersebut ialah having, loving, being, dan health. Memasukkan dukungan sosial dan optimisme ke dalam school well-being merupakan tindakan positif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji peran simultan dukungan sosial dan optimismee terhadap school well-being pada remaja. Populasi dalam penelitian ini merupakan remaja di kota Karawang dengan sampel sebanyak 203 orang. Adapun teknik pengambilan sampel adalah dengan metode quota sampling. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan Regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dukungan sosial dan optimisme berpengaruh terhadap school well-being dengan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000 < 0,05. Nilai Rsquare sebesar 0,235; artinya sebesar 23,5% variasi pada school well being dipengaruhi oleh dukungan sosial dan optimisme, sisanya sebesar 76,5% disebabkan oleh variabel lain yang tidak diukur dalam penelitian ini.

Abstract:
I present seven empirical studies that investigate two main themes regarding two main approaches of optimism: explanatory style and dispositional optimism. The first theme incorporates measurement issues and conceptual ideas of optimism and the second involves optimism interventions on depressive symptoms. In Study 1 I explored the potential psychometric structure of causal attributions and dispositional optimism. Attributions may be best viewed as reflecting large differences in cognitive style, and smaller independent positive- and negative-event biases. For dispositional optimism, a two-factor model was supported. Study 2 examined correlations between optimism and the Five-Factor Model of personality. Dispositional optimism and explanatory style had similar association patterns with personality, although there were some differences. Study 3 tested and supported a model in which dispositional optimism mediates the link between explanatory style and psychological well-being. Study 4 compared the levels of optimism expression in two ethnic groups, finding that Mainland Chinese participants were more optimistic and less pessimistic than White British. Study 5 examined attributional biases and found that individuals show more optimistic biased style for themselves than for other people. Studies 6 and 7 tested effectiveness of optimism interventions on depressive symptoms. It demonstrated that self-monitored optimism interventions on a daily basis could effectively reduce depressive symptoms and increase optimistic explanatory style. Taken together, the studies replicated some previous investigations regarding measurement issues and conceptual ideas of optimism, and explored novel approaches to examining the essence of attributional bias and effectiveness of optimism interventions in depression treatment. My investigation of attributional bias is the first to test this idea using new and comparable measures of attributions. Practicing self-administered optimism interventions is, to my knowledge, also the first time these interventions have been applied in a sample with mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms. This may provide an easily monitored and low-cost alternative to traditional treatments of depression.

Abstract:
One hundred twenty-two undergraduate students at the University of North Texas were administered several different optimism scales and also measures of similar constructs such as hope. Results indicated that most measures of optimism show only low to moderate intercorrelations with other measures of the same construct. Additionally, factor analysis confirmed that the measures of optimism actually appear to be assessing multiple factors and not necessarily optimism alone. Implications of the present study include the necessity of individual researchers to be familiar with the specific measure of optimism used in a given study as scores on differing measures of optimism may actually be providing very different information.

The idea with this study is to examine if there are a connection between how optimistic people are in relation to how stressed they feel. The result from the survey is based on materials from a questionnaire has been sent to fifty persons of varying age and sexes. The questionnaire has also been sent to students from Karlstad University but also to friends and acquaintances. The data is measured with SE- and LOT-tests. The issues concerned in which scope respondents experiences themselves stressed and optimistic and how the connection is between experienced stress and optimism in relation to results on the figure tests. This study showed a significant difference in average LOT-points and results in SE. Likewise, a significant difference was shown in average LOT-points and energy results. High LOT-points tend to give lower stress-points while low LOT-points are associated with high stress-points.

Abstract:
It is a widely assumed principle that organisms reflexively approach possibilities for pleasure and avoid possibilities for pain. However, highly evolved organisms not only reflexively react to future possibilities of pleasure vs. pain, but also evaluate the chance or risk of actually experiencing such possibilities. Given the import of optimism judgments in shaping behavior and other outcomes, the main goal of the current research was to examine the relationship between the rudimentary systems of approach-avoidance that orient us toward possible outcomes in the environment and the higher-order optimism judgments we make when evaluating whether such outcomes are likely to occur. To this end, two experiments examined the impact of approach-avoidance cues in shaping participants' optimism judgments about experiencing positive and negative future life events. For the primary operationalization of approach-avoidance, college student participants engaged in arm flexion (a motor movement associated with approach) or arm extension (a motor movement associated with avoidance) while simultaneously making optimism judgments about experiencing a range of positive and negative events in the future. A secondary operationalization involved correlations computed between participants' chronic personality tendencies related to approach-avoidance (e.g., positive vs. negative affectivity) and their optimism judgments. The results of these experiments revealed complexities in the relationship between approach-avoidance and optimism, suggesting that when, how and why approach-avoidance cues will shape optimism may critically depend upon 1) the specific operationalization of approach-avoidance, 2) how optimism is measured, and 3) characteristics of the outcomes under consideration. Explanations for the complexities in the results are offered, and attempts are made to link the current work to broader theoretical and practical aspects of the connection between approach-avoidance and optimism.

Abstract:
La perception optimiste que les gens ont de l’avenir a fait l’objet de nombreuses études. Elles ont conduit à observer une expression auto-avantageuse lors des comparaisons de son avenir à celui d’autrui (i.e., l’optimisme comparatif). Ces études ont examiné minutieusement les conditions de son émergence et ses explications intra-individuelles (motivationnelles et cognitives). D’autres études, rares mais souvent convaincantes, ont montré l’impact de la situation, de la position sociale et de la culture dans lesquelles l’optimisme comparatif est exprimé. Les explications qui en découlent interrogent plus largement l’influence des systèmes idéologiques, dans lesquelles sont insérés les gens, sur l’expression de l’optimisme comparatif. Ce dernier, principalement obtenu dans les cultures occidentales et des systèmes idéologiques libéraux, caractérisés par une dimension compétitive forte, entretient de nombreux liens avec la compétition. Afin de tester la dimension compétitive de l’optimisme comparatif ou dans quelle mesure la compétition facilite l’expression d’optimisme comparatif, nous avons mené sept études. Pour l’essentiel, elles montrent que la compétition tend à être associée à l’optimisme comparatif et à l’accroître. En outre, elles montrent la dimension d’utilité sociale de l’optimisme comparatif et que la relation entre compétition et optimisme comparatif est médiatisée par les buts de performances. Nous en concluons que l’optimisme comparatif, reflet de la compétition induite par la comparaison à autrui, est l’expression des conditions, notamment idéologiques, ultra-compétitives de nos sociétés occidentales, dans lesquelles il est exprimé
Optimistic perception that people have of the future has been the subject of numerous studies. They led to observe an advantageous self expression when comparing his future to that of others (i.e., comparative optimism). These studies have scrutinized the conditions of its emergence and its intra-individual explanations (motivational and cognitive). Other studies rare but often compelling, showed the impact of the situation, social position and culture in which the comparative optimism is expressed. Explanations ensuing question more broadly the influence of ideological systems in which people are inserted, the expression of comparative optimism. The latter, obtained mainly in Western cultures and liberal ideological systems, characterized by strong competitive dimension, maintains many links with the competition. To test the competitive dimension of comparative optimism or to what extent the competition facilitates the expression of comparative optimism, we conducted seven studies. In essence, they show that the competition tends to be associated with comparative optimism and grow. In addition, they show the dimension of social utility of comparative optimism and the relationship between competition and comparative optimism is mediated by performance goals. We conclude that the comparative optimism, reflecting the competition induced by comparison to others, is the expression of conditions, including ideological, ultra-competitive in our Western societies in which it is expressed

Abstract:
Optimism refers to peoples’ general tendency to anticipate good outcomes in areas that are important to them. Numerous studies have shown that optimism is significantly correlated with improved physical and mental health. Optimism can come to an overly optimistic degree, called optimism bias. People generally expect better outcomes and fewer negative events to happen for themselves in the future compared to the average person. There are two sides to this: being optimistically biased might lead to risky behavior, but it might also ease people's worries about the future. To have a consistently negative view is suggested to correlate with depressive symptoms and worsened health. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the neural correlates and functional markers of optimism and optimism bias. Optimism is suggested to correlate with gray-matter volume in the thalamus, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and bilateral putamen. The inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) have a crucial role in dismissing undesirable information and self referential processing. Research regarding this issue might be beneficial for further understanding of the connection between optimism and well-being.

Machaty, Agnes. "Dispositional Optimism and Marital Adjustment." UKnowledge, 2013. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/hes_etds/7.

Abstract:
This project examined dispositional optimism and its influence on the three subscales of marital adjustment (consensus, satisfaction, and cohesion) by gender. Data for this study came from Wave 2 and 3 of the National Survey of Families and Households. The Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) was used to examine both actor and partner effects of dispositional optimism on the marital adjustment subscales using the program AMOS. Results indicate that wives’ optimism seem to influence their own later marital satisfaction as well as their husbands’ later marital satisfaction. However, husbands’ optimism appeared to influence neither their own nor their wives’ later satisfaction. These results imply that wives’ optimism matters for marital satisfaction, whereas husbands’ does not.

Abstract:
A contemporary strand of Transamerican architects working between the American continents have developed a discernible attitude towards architecture, a Strange Optimism, a radical agenda of novel social participation encompassed by progressive architectural instrumentality. This work runs counter to the more accepted genealogies of Latin American architecture and its utilitarian, political or contextual in the second half of the 20th century. This essay will define a Strange Transamerican Optimism in the work of Sydney/New York/Madrid’s Fake Industries Architectural Agonism, Mexico’s Pedro y Juana andBolivia’s Freddy Mamani Silvestre.
