Abstract
The moderating effect of dispositional optimism on the link between daily hassles and mental health was investigated in a group of 234 Chinese undergraduates in Hong Kong. Optimism was measured by a Chinese version of the revised Life Orientation Test (Lai et al., 2005), which had been shown to be represented by a single factor using confirmatory factor analysis in a separate sample of 750 Hong Kong Chinese (RMSEA = 0.038, NNFI = 0.924, and CFI = 0.955). Results of multiple regression analyses showed that more optimistic participants fared better than their less optimistic peers under stress.
