Optimism Assessment

Here is the procedure to request permission to use:

To request permission to use either of these instruments for not-for-profit, academic research purposes:

 

1. Send an email to seligmaninfo@psych.upenn.edu and ask for information on how to request permission.

 

2. If your proposed research is approved, we will send you materials by email.
