title: Optimism, social support, stress, and physical and psychological well-being in Japanese women.
abstract: The present study examined the relationship between self-reported scores on optimism, social support, and stress and on physical and psychological well-being in 176 Japanese female college students. The significant interactions found among scores on optimism, social support, and stress suggest that individuals who reported higher optimism and social support also rated themselves higher with respect to physical and psychological well-being, regardless of their reported stress.
