| Description | The author pursues in her interactively oriented workshop the theoretical grounding of optimism and pessimism on the basis of four existing contemporary constructs: dispositional optimism (Carver, Scheier, 2002), optimism as explanatory style (Seligman, 1990), unrealistic optimism (Weinstein, 1980) and defensive pessimism (Cantor, Norem, 1989). Based on the results of selected household and foreign studies discusses the link between optimism / pessimism and academic success, personal well-being and health supportive behavior. |
