Life Orientation Test - Revised (LOT-R)

The revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) is a standard psychological instrument that assesses one’s dispositional level of optimism, i.e. the degree to which people possess confidence and hope that future events will turn out positively. The LOT-R was implemented in both adult (section: mental health) and adolescent Lifelines participants in the context of an additional questionnaire: OPBQ.
