Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Landfield and Epting (1987) theorized that low construct relation may suggest a fragmentation process within one's construct system which, in turn, will be manifest in excessive doubt and uncertainty, forms of low optimism. Present results with 81 undergraduates were consistent with this contention and indicated that individuals with low scores on construct relation also report low scores on dispositional optimism. Continued research is recommended to define the relationship between scores on construct relation and optimism.
