“…Second, about 15% of the data were collected through online sampling, so the results may be biased towards those with computer literacy and accessibility [ 79 ]. Additionally, the internal consistency reliability of the optimism and locus of control scales in the current study is low, while in contrast to previous studies optimism had a strong internal reliability of 0.82 [ 80 ] and internal and external locus of control had an internal reliability of 0.69 and 0.71, respectively in a Norwegian sample and 0.80 and 0.60, respectively in a German-speaking sample [ 81 ]. Therefore, future studies should examine whether these scales are indeed suitable for older people and whether they are sensitive to the cultural aspect of the population in which they were administered.…”

Meaning in life (MIL) among older adults has a significant physical and mental health impact. This study aimed to present an integrative model of factors that contribute to variability in MIL among older adults, including background characteristics (gender, age, employment status, religiosity), personality characteristics (locus of control, self-efficacy, optimism), and psycho-social factors (psychological distress and loneliness). Participants (751 older adults, Mage = 72.27, SD = 6.28; 446 female, 305 male) responded to a questionnaire in-person or online. Measures included: demographic variables, Short Scale for the Assessment of Locus of Control, New General Self-Efficacy Scale, Life Orientation Test–Revised, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, and Hughes Short Scale for Measuring Loneliness. Hierarchical regression revealed that younger and religious older adults reported higher MIL levels than older and non-religious older adults. Internal locus of control, higher self-efficacy, and higher optimism were linked to higher MIL levels. Higher psychological distress and loneliness were associated with lower MIL levels, with psychological distress contributing the most of all variables in the study model to explain the variance in MIL among older adults. Employed older old adults reported lower MIL levels than those unemployed. The study emphasizes the importance of an integrative approach in the examination of MIL among older adults.

“…During the pandemic optimistic individuals also had higher levels of adherence to preventive behaviors ( Adebayo et al, 2022 ). This implies that optimistic individuals look for active- instrumental support during adversities while those having a pessimistic outlook look for passive-emotional support or opt for an avoidant approach ( Hatchett and Park, 2004 ; Iwanaga et al, 2004 ; Yevdokimova and Okhrimenko, 2020 ).…”

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has not only brought the risk of death but has brought unbearable psychological pressures to the people. Mental health of COVID patients is expected to be affected by the continuous spread of the pandemic. This study aims to find the mediating role of coping styles in the relationship between life orientation and psychological distress among COVID recovered patients. It was hypothesized that: life orientation is likely to have a relationship with coping; coping is likely to have a relationship with psychological distress and coping is likely to mediate the relationship between life orientation and psychological distress among patients recovered from COVID. For this purpose, 378 COVID-10 recovered patients’ men (190) and women (188). Urdu translations of the Life Orientation scale revised, Brief Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced (COPE) and Impact of event scales were used to collect data. Results show that emotion-focused and avoidant coping mediate the relationship between life orientation and psychological distress. The research has implications for mental health practitioners and individuals dealing with health-related issues.

The current study aimed to analyze the path of causal relationships between each of the ability to tolerance/ intolerance ambiguity, orientation towards life, coping styles, and psychological resilience in a sample of medical staff (236) (65) males, and (173) females. The study tools were applied to them (tolerance/intolerance of ambiguity scale, life orientation scale, a measure of coping styles scale, and resilience scale) prepared by the researchers and using the statistical program SPSS and AMOS. The data were analyzed using the structural modeling equation, and path analysis to validate the model. The proposal and the possibility of causal relationships between the variables of the study and the T. test for the significance of differences. The results indicated that there is a direct positive statistically significant effect of tolerance of ambiguity on effective coping styles; a direct, positive statistically significant effect of orientation towards life on effective coping styles; a direct, positive, statistically significant effect of effective coping styles on resilience; and a direct, statistically significant positive effect of tolerance of
