Positive psychology is the study of positive subjective experience and individual traits. Identifying deficits in positive psychology regarding fibromyalgia may inform targets for management. Therefore, the aim of the present case-control study was to compare the levels of positive affect, negative affect, satisfaction with life, optimism and emotional repair in a large sample of women with fibromyalgia (cases) and age-matched peers without fibromyalgia (controls). This case-control study included 437 women with fibromyalgia (51.6 ± 7.1 years old) and 206 age-matched women without fibromyalgia (50.6 ± 7.2 years old). Participants self-reported their levels of (i) subjective well-being on the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule and the Satisfaction with Life Scale, (ii) dispositional optimism on the Life Orientation Test-Revised and (iii) emotional repair on the Trait Meta-Mood Scale. Women with fibromyalgia showed lower levels of positive affect, satisfaction with life, optimism and emotional repair and higher levels of negative affect. Large effect sizes were found for positive affect, negative affect and satisfaction with life (all, Cohen's d ≥ 0.80) and small-to-moderate for emotional repair and optimism (both, Cohen's d ≥ 0.50). Women with fibromyalgia experience deficits of positive psychology resources. Thus, developing tailored therapies for fibromyalgia focusing on reducing deficits in positive psychology resources may be of clinical interest, though this remains to be corroborated in future research.
积极心理学是对积极主观体验和个体特质的研究。确定积极心理学在纤维肌痛方面的缺陷可能为管理提供目标。因此，本病例对照研究的目的是在大量纤维肌痛女性（病例）和年龄匹配的无纤维肌痛女性（对照）中比较积极情绪、消极情绪、生活满意度、乐观和情绪修复的水平。本病例对照研究包括 437 名纤维肌痛女性（51.6 ± 7.1 岁）和 206 名年龄匹配的无纤维肌痛女性（50.6 ± 7.2 岁）。参与者自我报告了（i）积极和消极情绪量表以及生活满意度量表上的主观幸福感，（ii）修订后的生活取向测验上的性格乐观主义，以及（iii）特质元情绪量表上的情绪修复水平。纤维肌痛女性的积极情绪、生活满意度、乐观和情绪修复水平较低，消极情绪水平较高。积极情绪、消极情绪和生活满意度均存在较大的效应量（均为 Cohen's d ≥ 0.80），而情绪修复和乐观的效应量较小至中等（均为 Cohen's d ≥ 0.50）。纤维肌痛女性体验到积极心理学资源的不足。因此，针对纤维肌痛开发针对积极心理学资源减少的定制疗法可能具有临床意义，但这仍需在未来的研究中得到证实。
