Although dispositional optimism serves as a resource for psychological and physical well-being, very little research has explored how to promote child dispositional optimism within the family context. The authors evaluated paternal emotional expressiveness within the family as a mediator of the association between father's and child's dispositional optimism. Participants were 422 father (M age = 44.97 years, SD = 4.21 years)-child (M age = 11.75 years, SD = 0.77 years) dyads in South Korea. Results showed that fathers' dispositional optimism was positively linked to their expressiveness, which in turn was positively linked to their children's dispositional optimism. No significant gender or socioeconomic status differences were found. The findings have important implications for future research and for preventive interventions.
尽管性格乐观是心理和身体健康的一种资源，但很少有研究探讨如何在家庭环境中促进儿童的性格乐观。作者评估了家庭中父亲的情感表达能力，将其作为父亲和孩子性格乐观之间关联的一个中介变量。研究对象是韩国的422对父子（父亲平均年龄 = 44.97岁，标准差 = 4.21岁；孩子平均年龄 = 11.75岁，标准差 = 0.77岁）。结果显示，父亲的性格乐观与他们的情感表达能力呈正相关，而情感表达能力又与孩子的性格乐观呈正相关。未发现显著的性别或社会经济地位差异。这些研究结果对未来的研究和预防性干预具有重要意义。
