Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this research were to evaluate quality and characteristics of research, to evaluate effect sizes in correlation term, and to study the effect of moderators on effect size differences. The research synthesis consisted of a metaanalysis of 18 quantitative research reports involving the relationships between optimism and well-being using experimental and correlational designs that met the inclusion criteria. The results indicated the expected significant positive relationship between optimism and well-being. The analysis of moderators revealed that 5 variables (i.e. types of dependent variables, publication year, sample size, research quality, and the numbers of dependence variable) moderated the relationship between optimism and well-being.
