Abstract

Objectives: OPTIMISM plays a major role in coping with stressful life events. The purpose of the present study is to examine the influence of OPTIMISM on COPING STRATEGIES and PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT in ADOLESCENTS.Method: In a correlational and causal-comparative study, 208 females and 147 males' volunteers to university entrance examination through a random cluster sampling were selected. Four questionnaires of Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOCQ), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and GENERAL HEALTH Questionnaire (GHQ) were then administered to the subjects.Results: Optimists benefited greater problem-focused COPING STRATEGIES compared to the pessimists. In addition, they had better GENERAL HEALTH (p<0.001) and LIFE SATISFACTION (p<0.001). Regression analysis indicated that OPTIMISM-pessimism accounted for a significant amount of the variance (p<0.05) in COPING STRATEGIES and PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT.Conclusion: These findings confirm the role of OPTIMISM in employing better PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT.
