Abstract

Optimism is reflected in the extent to which people hold positive expectation for their future. It is related to the capacity to cope with life hardship and satisfaction. Optimism, coping skills, and life satisfaction are believed to be predictors of future success. This study examined the relationship between optimism, coping skills and life satisfaction as a basis for web-based intervention. The participants totalled to 336 adolescents from 5 public high schools in Central Jakarta. The measure used is Brief Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS), Adolescent Coping Orientation for Problem Experiences (ACOPE) and Domain-Specific Hope Scale (DSHC). The relationship between optimism, coping skills, and life satisfaction was analysed with gender consideration. The result showed that there was a relationship between optimism, coping skills and life satisfaction. The implication for web-based intervention on optimism enhancement was also discussed.
