A sunny outlook doesn’t depend on privilege

Contrary to what most people might think, a positive worldview is not necessarily tied to one’s level of privilege. The study has found that optimistic beliefs about the world are not a reliable way to determine a person’s background or socio-economic status. It’s like assuming that all cool kids wear sunglasses, only to find out that some regular kids rock them too. The results challenge the common assumption that positivity is a luxury reserved for those who have it easy in life. This research could have a significant impact on how we understand the factors that contribute to an individual’s outlook on life. So, it turns out that having a rose-tinted perspective isn’t necessarily a result of being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Perhaps, optimism is more rooted in personal experiences and values than we previously thought! To dive deeper into the study and its findings, check out the link below!
