Abstract
The paper strives to indicate the constructs that are conducive to the development of optimism-pessimism in adolescents, by presenting the research on optimism-pessimism conducted on a sample of adolescents from Kosovo and Metohija. After an insight into the findings of the research presented (which were conducted from 2017 to 2019) on the sample of more than 700 adolescents aged between 18 and 29, it was found that the correlation of optimism comprises the following: adolescents' personality traits, interpersonal orientation, experience of beauty of the human face, hope, satisfaction with life and well-being. Conclusions drawn from the research will enable the conception and organization of further research. Involving other variables, such as the context of upbringing, family relations, relationship with peers, in research to be conducted in the future is necessary for the examination of their contribution to the development of optimism-pessimism, bearing in mind the major significance optimism has for adolescents' mental health.
