Optimisme merupakan trait yang mengarahkan individu untuk memandang kehidupannya dari sisi positif. Optimisme merupakan prediktor Post-traumatic Growth. 276 partisipan yang berusia 13-19, diukur menggunakan Post-traumatic Growth Inventory-Revised for Children and Adolescents dan Life Orientation Test-Revised. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa tingkat optimisme dan Post-traumatic Growth yang remaja cukup tinggi. Penelitian ini juga menemukan korelasi positif antara optimisme dan Post-traumatic Growth (r=0.310, p<0.01).
