Stuff You Should Know · Battle Royale: Optimists vs Pessimists · 16 Dec 2025 podcast

That's wonderful.

I'm glad I asked then.

Yeah.

I just saw that kind of recently, too.

That's funny.

You must be in my algorithm.

I'm all up in there.

Should we take a break or should we go through this last bit?

We should go through the last bit.

Okay.

So here's something that's probably not surprising.

Is it dispositional and attributional optimism are really correlated to one another?

And really no surprise, they're also – I was about to say comorbid, but that always sounds bad –

But correlated to high self-esteem, positive affect, feeling like you're in control of your life and your outcomes.

And obviously negatively correlated with feeling depressed or stressed or alienated or having anxiety or hopelessness.

Yeah, and as far as big five personality traits goes, it's most closely related to emotional stability, optimism is.

So essentially, if you put all that together, that's the kid from your high school that you hated because everybody loved him and he was in a great mood all the time and he loved you.

Yeah, that was kind of me.

Oh, no.

Oh, really?
