Multidimensional Properties of the LOT-R: Effects of Optimism and Pessimism on Career and Well-Being Related Variables in Adolescents Peter A. Creed Griffith University–Gold Coast, Australia Wendy Patton Queensland University of Technology Kelvin Grove, Australia Dee Bartrum Griffith University–Gold Coast, Australia The Life Orientation Test–Revised (LOT-R), measures of career maturity, career decision-making, career goals, and well-being were administered to 504 high school students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated bidimensionality rather than unidimensionality for the LOT-R, with the two factors of optimism and pessimism being largely unrelated. Those with high optimism reported high levels of career planning and explo- ration, were more confident about their career decisions, and had more career related goals. Those with high pessimism reported low levels of career and decision-making knowledge, were more career indecisive, and reported low levels of school achievement. For well-being, those with high levels of opti- mism reported high levels of self-esteem and low levels of psychological dis- tress, whereas those with high levels of pessimism reported low levels of self- esteem and more psychological distress. Keywords: Optimism, pessimism, career maturity, career decision mak- ing, self-esteem, career goals Positive Psychology has received renewed interest by researchers over the past decade. Of particular focus has been the area of optimism, recognised as JOURNAL OF CAREER ASSESSMENT, V ol. 10 No. 1, F ebruary 2002 42-61 © 2002 Sage Publications 42 Correspondence concerning this article and requests for reprints should be addressed to Dr. Peter A.
