Abstract
Testing the hypothesis that individuals develop their personal characteristics according to what their cultures emphasize, this cross-sectional study aimed at investigating how dispositional optimism varied with age among Americans and Hong Kong Chinese. The sample included 84 younger adults and 55 older adults that were equally distributed across the two cultures. Results revealed that older Americans displayed a higher level of dispositional optimism than did younger Americans; whereas older Chinese showed a lower level of dispositional optimism than did their younger counterparts. Findings shed light on the mixed findings on age-related dispositional optimism in the literature.
摘要
为了验证个体根据其文化所强调的内容来发展个人特质这一假设，本横断面研究旨在调查美国人和中国香港人在性格乐观程度上如何随年龄变化。样本包括84名年轻成年人和55名年长成年人，他们在两种文化中平均分布。结果显示，年长的美国人比年轻的美国人表现出更高水平的性格乐观；而年长的中国人比年轻的中国人表现出更低水平的性格乐观。研究结果为文献中关于与年龄相关的性格乐观的混合研究结果提供了启示。
