|a The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between dispositional optimism and purpose in life. Data was collected from 254 participants from a private university located in the southeastern region of the United States. The study collected data using the Purpose in Life Test (Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1964) and Life Orientation Test-Revised (Scheier, Carver, & Bridges, 1994). As hypothesized, optimism predicted purpose in life, i.e., as dispositional optimism increases, purpose in life increases as well. The findings of the present study in context with previous research may be utilized in both clinical and applied settings. By targeting and promoting the development of optimism, one may in turn be able to find purpose in life and facilitate the development of overall well-being. |
