The relations between hassles, dispositional optimism, and prospective reports of physical symptoms were examined in a group of 90 Hong Kong undergraduates. Given that most hassle scales are confounded by physical and psychological symptomatology, a decontaminated scale specifically tailored to the experiences of college students was used. Multiple regression analyses indicated that hassle scores and the interaction of hassles and optimism uniquely and reliably predicted symptom reporting. Optimism, however, did not reliably predict symptom reports when effects of hassles and the interaction of hassles and optimism were controlled. Inspection of the interaction showed that optimism predicted symptom scores only at high levels of hassles. The underlying mechanisms were discussed in the light of previous data linking optimism and adaptational outcomes via coping. It was suggested that further pursuit of the connection between optimism and coping in relation to measures of life stress would be worthwhile.
在一组90名香港大学生中，研究了日常烦恼、性格乐观与身体症状预期报告之间的关系。鉴于大多数日常烦恼量表都受到身体和心理症状学的混淆影响，因此使用了专门为大学生经历量身定制的净化量表。多元回归分析表明，日常烦恼得分以及日常烦恼与乐观的交互作用能够独特且可靠地预测症状报告。然而，当控制日常烦恼的影响以及日常烦恼与乐观的交互作用时，乐观并不能可靠地预测症状报告。对交互作用的检验表明，只有在日常烦恼程度较高时，乐观才能预测症状得分。根据先前通过应对将乐观与适应结果联系起来的数据，对潜在机制进行了讨论。研究表明，进一步探讨乐观与应对之间在生活压力测量方面的联系是值得的。
