Life Orientation Test–Revised

Explanation:
"The Life Orientation Test-Revised (Scheier, Carver, & Bridges, 1994) is a widely used self-report measure of optimism."

"The “Life Orientation Test–Revised” (LOT-R) is used to evaluate the personal disposition toward optimism. Since the test is written in English and based on an American population, it cannot be used to conduct research on optimism with the French-Canadian population. Thus, following a translation of the LOT-R into French and a subsequent evaluation of its cross-cultural equivalence, the French-Canadian version of the LOT-R was administered to 204 francophone university students."
