To test the hypotheses that pessimists might benefit from concrete objective information based on self-regulation theory and that optimists might benefit from instruction in self-care and coping based on self-care theory, 62 patients receiving radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer were studied. The two experimental and control intervention messages were given three times during RT. Mood and disruption of activities were assessed three times during and three times after RT. The self-care instruction had no effects on either outcome. The prediction from self-regulation theory was supported, in part, with concrete objective information having a positive effect on mood among pessimistic patients. Concrete objective information resulted in less recreation and pastime disruption in both optimistic and pessimistic patients at the times they experienced the most RT side effects.
为了检验基于自我调节理论悲观主义者可能从具体客观信息中受益，以及基于自我护理理论乐观主义者可能从自我护理和应对指导中受益的假设，对62名接受前列腺癌放射治疗（RT）的患者进行了研究。两种实验性和对照性干预信息在放疗期间给予了三次。在放疗期间评估了三次情绪和活动干扰情况，放疗后也评估了三次。自我护理指导对这两个结果均无影响。自我调节理论的预测部分得到了支持，具体客观信息对悲观患者的情绪有积极影响。在经历最多放疗副作用的时期，具体客观信息使乐观和悲观患者的娱乐和消遣干扰都减少了。
