Abstract

background Several studies have found that optimism is associated with better health. However, all those studies have investigated the subject in a specific context: gender, age group, diagnosis, situation, or population segment. Given the association found between optimism and physical health, mental health and well-being in previous studies, one would expect optimistic individuals in the general population to report fewer physical and mental health conditions during their lifetimes than pessimists. The aim of the present study was to test this hypothesis.
在一般挪威人口中,乐观主义者报告的身体和精神健康状况比悲观主义者少
几项研究发现,乐观与更好的健康状况有关。然而,所有这些研究都在特定的背景下调查了这个主题:性别、年龄组、诊断、情况或人口部分。鉴于之前的研究中发现的乐观与身体健康、心理健康和幸福之间的联系,人们会预期,在一般人群中,乐观的人一生中报告的身体和心理健康状况比悲观的人要少。本研究的目的是验证这一假设。
