Joanna Sikora – Australian Journal of Career Development, 2024
While interest in career optimism has grown steadily in the last 15 years, most of its investigations rely on cross-sectional convenience samples that prevent exploring how earlier optimism matters for later educational and vocational outcomes.

We extend previous analyses of the discursive…

Carr, Imogen; Szabó, Marianna – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2015
Worry in adults has been conceptualized as a thinking process involving problem-solving attempts about anticipated negative outcomes. This process is related to, though distinct from, fear.
