The sample consisted of 617 university students aged between 18 and 31 years, from 4 educational institutions located in two Colombian cities. The psychometric analysis showed that the scale meets the conditions of reliability and validity for use in related populations . The conclusions show differences between genders in scores of optimism and pessimism trends; the presence of unrealistically optimistic bias in adolescents and the differences in the optimistic trend according to city. Limitations of this study are discussed. |
