“…They emphasize the legitimacy of effective interventions counteracting educational stress, which would not only favour the development of skills, but also reduce its negative health effects. Other authors also pointed to the significant importance of support in strengthening positive self-image [52,53], or mobilization to fight stress [54,55].

“…As mulheres relataram frequente uso legal ou ilegal de drogas como enfrentamento de problemas. Por outro lado, os homens apresentaram atitudes mais positivas em relação ao seu uso, o que pode levar ao expressivo aumento de consumo pelo sexo masculino (12) .

No campo da saúde mental, então, o otimismo é definido com base nas expectativas que as pessoas possuem sobre os eventos que ocorrerão futuramente em suas vidas (Soares, Luís, Corradi-Webster, Martins & Hirata, 2011). Ser otimista não se reduz a pensamentos positivos.…”
