Optimism is a stable personality trait that has important implications for behavior, yet little attention has been given to examining optimism in adolescents. This article describes levels of optimism in rural adolescents and the relationship of optimism with depression, coping, anger, and life events. The identification of optimism may be a vulnerability factor when screening adolescent mental health and, as such, has implications for the psychiatric nurse clinician.
乐观是一种稳定的人格特质,对行为具有重要影响,但在青少年中对乐观的研究却很少受到关注。本文描述了农村青少年的乐观水平以及乐观与抑郁、应对方式、愤怒和生活事件之间的关系。在筛查青少年心理健康时,乐观的识别可能是一个易损因素,因此,这对精神科护士临床医生具有重要意义。
