Abstract
Literature documents that the judgments people hold about themselves, their life, and their future are important ingredients of their psychological functioning and well-being, and are commonly related to each other. In this paper, results from a large cross-sectional sample (N = 1,331, 48% males) are presented attesting to the hypothesis that evaluations about oneself, one's life, and one's future rest on a common mode of viewing experiences named "Positive Orientation." These results corroborate the utility of the new construct as a critical component of individuals' well functioning. © 2011 Hogrefe Publishing. © 2011 Hogrefe Publishing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
