Optimismo

Por que somos tan optimistas? Un nuevo estudio en psicologia revela de donde proviene parte de ese optimismo irracional que muchas veces tenemos:

We humans tend to be an optimistic bunch. In fact, it's long been established by psychologists that most people are likely to be irrationally positive. The optimism bias, as it's called, accounts for the fact that we expect to live longer and be more successful than the average and we tend to underestimate the likelihood of getting a serious disease or a divorce. This tendency is adaptive—many researchers have claimed that a positive outlook motivates us to plan for our future and may even have an effect on our long-term physical health.
