Outlook on Life: How Adolescents and Children View the Life-Style of Parents, Adults and Self.

Lau, Sing; Lau, Winnie

Journal of Adolescence, v19 n3 p293-96 Jun 1996

An Outlook on Life measure was constructed to identify how adolescents and children see their lives. Three scales were formed: View of Parents, View of Adults, and View of Self. The scales were found to correlate highly with subjects' emotional state. The more positive views subjects had of their parents, adults, and their own life, the less depressed they felt. (Author/KW)
