How does optimism change over the lifespan and how do changes predict health and well-being? In a pre-registered analysis of the Rochester Adult Longitudinal Study, we examined changes in and outcomes of optimism over 25 years (1989–2014) in 984 adults aged 16–70. Optimism increased over time similarly across participants. However, more optimistic participants at baseline reported engaging in healthier behaviors, better health, higher life satisfaction, and higher purpose in life 25 years later. Disaggregating health behaviors, we found that health-behavior-effects were specific to physical activity and abstaining from harmful substances/food. Because participants increased in optimism at similar rates, more work is needed to examine whether changes in optimism predict outcomes, and what factors account for the homogenous change observed here.

罗切斯特成人纵向研究中 25 年乐观对健康和福祉的影响

乐观情绪在整个生命周期中如何变化,变化如何预测健康和福祉?在对罗切斯特成人纵向研究的预先注册分析中,我们检查了 984 名 16-70 岁的成年人 25 年(1989-2014 年)的乐观变化和结果。参与者的乐观情绪随着时间的推移而增加。然而,基线时更乐观的参与者报告说在 25 年后从事更健康的行为、更好的健康、更高的生活满意度和更高的生活目标。分解健康行为,我们发现健康行为影响是特定于身体活动和戒除有害物质/食物的。由于参与者的乐观情绪以相似的速度增加,因此需要做更多的工作来检查变化是否乐观地预测结果,以及哪些因素导致了这里观察到的同质变化。
