Psychometric Properties of the Life Orientation Test and Attributional Style Questionnaire
Keyword(s):
Research on dispositional optimism and explanatory style has burgeoned in recent years. The present study assessed the psychometric properties of the Life Orientation Test and Attributional Style Questionnaire, two self-report scales commonly used to measure these two constructs in social-personality research. Data reported include means, standard deviations, internal reliabilities, and intercorrelations for a sample of 436 (342 women and 94 men) college students. Scores on the measures were moderately correlated ( r = .41), suggesting some conceptual overlap. No gender differences were evidenced on either scale.
