Positive orientation: explorations on what is common to life satisfaction, self-esteem, and optimism.
Aim: Literature documents that the judgments people hold about themselves, their life, and their future are important ingredients of their psychological functioning and well-being, and are commonly related to each other.
Methods: We used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) under the classical test theory, regression analysis, and a cross national design.
Results: This study provides new findings attesting to the hypothesis that evaluations about oneself, one's life, and one's future rest on a common mode of viewing experiences which we named "Positive Orientation".
Conclusions: Results from an Italian and a Canadian study are presented, attesting to a latent dimension that lies at the core of positive evaluations and that corroborates the utility of the new construct as a critical component of individuals' well-functioning.
