Abstract
This study aims to describe the concept and measurement of optimism and its relationship with other variables. This study used the keyword search method and the PRISMA checklist in three databases: Pubmed, SCOPUS, and ScienceDirect. From 887 relevant articles, 11 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected for analysis. The results showed that optimism is a complex and multidimensional concept that can be measured by various scales and measurement tools. One of the most commonly used instruments is the Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R) scale, which consists of 10 items and is rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Reliability in this scale is α=0.71. This study also found significant relationships between optimism and health, work engagement, and self-esteem. However, development and refinement of optimism measurement methods are needed to make it more accurate and reliable.
