The effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy on optimism in male students
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Optimism has been shown to provide many benefits, such as better health, increased satisfaction, confidence, motivation, and higher athletic performance. Research has also suggested the ability to increase the frequency of experiencing those benefits through the use of certain cognitive behavior therapy techniques. While the research shows the ability to increase optimism in a random sample of individuals, there is a lack of research on increasing optimism in students. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an optimism training intervention on state optimism levels of students. It was hypothesized the intervention will increase optimism levels in participants. Results displayed an increase in optimism scores during the intervention phase for all participants. These results suggest optimism training may increase optimism levels. Further research examining varying jobs, length of intervention, and timing the intervention closer to in-season is suggested.
