The relationship between dispositional optimism (LOT) and health-relevant cognitions after a myocardial infarction was examined with 158 patients (mean age = 52.7 +/- 8.1 yr.). Patients above the median on optimism (i.e., optimists) scored significantly lower on perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and experienced fear than did pessimists. However, no difference on perceived self-efficacy was reported between optimists and pessimists. It is concluded that these results provide further evidence for the LOT's construct validity.
对158名心肌梗死患者（平均年龄=52.7±8.1岁）进行了研究，以探讨特质乐观主义（生活取向测验）与心肌梗死后健康相关认知之间的关系。乐观主义得分高于中位数的患者（即乐观主义者）在感知易感性、感知严重性和恐惧体验方面的得分显著低于悲观主义者。然而，乐观主义者和悲观主义者在自我效能感方面未报告有差异。研究得出结论，这些结果为生活取向测验的结构效度提供了进一步的证据。
