Optimism, Hope, and Well-being Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Student Stress and Coping

Abstract

A 15-item scale to measure optimism about college life was developed and administered to 90 female and 54 male entering college freshmen to study reliability and construct validity. An alpha of .85 was found, and predicted negative correlations with scores on the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, Zung Depression Inventory, and Maudsley Personality Inventory (Neuroticism) were observed.
