The Association of Psychological Factors With Willingness to Share Health-Related Data From Technological Devices: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

The Association of Psychological Factors With Willingness to Share Health-Related Data From Technological Devices: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

Optimism was measured using the 10-item version of the Life Orientation Test—Revised (LOT-R) [26]. The LOT-R includes 3 items about optimism, 3 items about pessimism, and 4 filler items. Examples of questions are “I’m always optimistic about my future” (ie, optimism) and “I hardly ever expect things to go my way” (ie, pessimism). Participants were asked to indicate their level of agreement on a 5-point Likert scale (0=strongly disagree, 4=strongly agree).

Reward Responsiveness, Optimism, and Social and Mental Functioning in Children Aged 6-7: Protocol of a Cross-Sectional Pilot Study

Not only reward responsiveness, but also optimism is important for mental and social functioning in adults and adolescents [4,20,21]. Optimism refers to the general belief that things will go well and that the future will turn out good rather than bad [5]. Optimists, when confronted with a setback, believe that this is not indicative of a personal weakness and are motivated to overcome the problem.
