“…Estos resultados concuerdan con trabajos precedentes en donde se sostiene la unidimensionalidad del constructo (Bandeira, Bekou, Silva Lott, Teixeira y Silva Rocha, 2002;Laranjeira, 2008), frente a otros trabajos que abogan por su bidimensionalidad, tanto en población general (Rauch et al, 2007;Segerstrom et al, 2011) como juvenil (Nakano, 2004;Sulkers et al, 2013). Cabe destacar cómo todos estos trabajos en que se defiende la estructura bidimensional del optimismo disposicional, han empleado el LOT como instrumento de evaluación.…”

ResumenEl optimismo ha mostrado numerosos beneficios físicos y emocionales en diversas poblaciones y contextos profesionales. Sin embargo, los instrumentos para evaluarlo son escasos y presentan importantes limitaciones, especialmente en población joven. En el presente trabajo se presenta un cuestionario que, mediante 9 ítems, evalúa el optimismo disposicional y se analiza su relación con la personalidad e inteligencia emocional. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 2.693 jóvenes españoles (M=16.52, DT=1.38), de los cuales el 51.10% fueron hombres. La inteligencia emocional se evaluó con el cuestionario Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24, mientras que los cinco grandes rasgos de personalidad se midieron mediante la escala Overall Personality Assessment Scale. El cuestionario de optimismo muestra una fiabilidad elevada (α=.84), siendo preciso para un amplio rango de habilidad (θ entre -3 y +2), así como un ajuste aceptable a una estructura unidimensional. Se confirma la elevada relación entre el optimismo y los rasgos de personalidad e inteligencia emocional. Palabras clave: evaluación, optimismo, personalidad, inteligencia emocional. AbstractOptimism has been shown to have numerous physical and emotional benefits in a range of populations and professional contexts. Nonetheless, there are few instruments for its evaluation and they have significant limitations, especially in young people. This work presents a questionnaire which, through 9 items, evaluates dispositional optimism and analyses its relationship to personality and emotional intelligence. The sample was made up of 2,963 Spanish adolescents of whom 51.10% were male. Emotional intelligence was measured using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24, while the big-five personality traits were measured using the Overall Personality Assessment Scale. The optimism questionnaire demonstrated high reliability (α=.84), it was accurate over a wide ability range (θ from -3 to +2) and gave an acceptable fit to a unidimensional structure. The clear relationship between optimism, personality traits and emotional intelligence was confirmed.

“…According to Bandeira, Bekou, Lott, Teixeira and Rocha (2002), Monteiro (2008) and Zenger, Finck, Zanon, Jimenez, Singer and Hinz (2013), consider the instrument as uni-dimensional bipolar, taking optimism and pessimism as two opposite poles of the same construct, whereas other authors consider that there were two different factors.…”

“…The study by Bandeira et al (2002) aimed to develop a Brazilian adaptation of the LOT-R (Life Orientation Test -Revised) and carried out the analysis of its psychometrical properties. The application of LOT-R was performed with 396 undergraduate students of both genders and from different courses in a private university.…”

Optimism and pessimism are conceptualized as generalized expectations about events happening in people's lives, and are regarded as stable dispositions. The construct of optimism can be understood as being one-dimensional and bipolar, in other words, it's an only attribute with two extremes ranging from optimism or pessimism. The Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) is the instrument used for assessing dispositional optimism and has been the subject of several studies that verify its one-dimensionality. However, the results of those studies do not necessarily support the theoretical model. The aim of this paper was to analyze the factor structure of the LOT-R in a sample of adolescent students from basic primary and secondary education. Participants were 183 students of both genders, aged between 13 and 19 years old. The application of the LOT-R was carried collectively in the classroom. The instrument's confirmatory factor analysis was performed by testing a one-factor model and another one of two-factors. The two-factor model was the most appropriate, showing that, for this particular sample, the LOT-R consists of two components. The need for studies to test the structure of the instrument is evident inasmuch as the literature indicates that cultural differences are key elements to understanding optimism. Key words: Language, human behavior, spoken language. Estructura factorial del Life Orientation Test Revisado (LOT-R) ResumenEl optimismo y el pesimismo se han conceptualizado como las expectativas generalizadas sobre los acontecimientos en la vida de los individuos, y son considerados disposiciones estables. El constructo optimismo puede entenderse como unidimensional y bipolar, es decir, es un único atributo con dos extremos que pueden variar entre el optimismo y el pesimismo. El Life Orientation Test Revisado (LOT-R) es el instrumento utilizado para la evaluación del optimismo disposicional que ha sido objeto de numerosas investigaciones, entre las cuales se encuentran las que comprueban su unidimensionalidad; sin embargo, los resultados no necesariamente han respaldado el modelo teórico. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue realizar el análisis de la estructura factorial del LOT-R en una muestra de 183 estudiantes de educación básica primaria y secundaria de ambos sexos y con edades entre los 13 y 19 años. La aplicación del LOT-R se hizo colectivamente en el aula de clases. El análisis factorial confirmatorio del instrumento se realizó mediante dos modelos, uno unifactorial y otro bifactorial. El segundo modelo fue el más adecuado, lo que demuestra que en esta muestra específica el LOT-R consta de dos componentes. La necesidad de realizar estudios para comprobar la estructura del instrumento resulta evidente debido a que la literatura señala que las diferencias culturales son elementos clave para entender el optimismo. Palabras clave: Lenguaje, conducta humana, lenguaje hablado.

“…In short, it is the assessment made by individuals regarding their ability to perform a task within a certain area, or the judgment of their own competence or capabilities required to achieve the planned performance. Self-efficacy is strongly related to other constructs, including self-esteem, locus of control, overconfidence and optimism (Bandeira, Bekou, Lott, Teixeira & Rocha, 2002). Among the scales of these constructs, the Spearman correlation coefficients, based on the available data, were highly significant and presented the direction expected.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the contribution of psychological variables and scales suggested by Economic Psychology in predicting individuals' default. Therefore, a sample of 555 individuals completed a self-completion questionnaire, which was composed of psychological variables and scales. By adopting the methodology of the logistic regression, the following psychological and behavioral characteristics were found associated with the group of individuals in default: a) negative dimensions related to money (suffering, inequality and conflict); b) high scores on the self-efficacy scale, probably indicating a greater degree of optimism and over-confidence; c) buyers classified as compulsive; d) individuals who consider it necessary to give gifts to children and friends on special dates, even though many people consider this a luxury; e) problems of self-control identified by individuals who drink an average of more than four glasses of alcoholic beverage a day.KEYWORDS | Economic psychology, credit analysis, credit risk, credit scoring, application scoring.
