Compared to pessimists, optimists tend to be more

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Optimists tend to be persistent because they believe that their efforts will lead to positive outcomes, whereas pessimists may give up easily due to their belief that nothing they do will make a difference. This persistence can lead to greater productivity. Studies have also shown that optimists have better physical health outcomes than pessimists, suggesting that they are not more vulnerable to illness (choice A). Additionally, optimists may be less sensitive to anxiety or frustration than pessimists because they have a more positive outlook and believe in their ability to overcome challenges, not less (choice B). Finally, optimists may not necessarily see the "reality" of their situation in a pessimistic or negative light, but rather they may choose to focus on the positive aspects and potential solutions.
