תקציר	The Life Orientation Test – Revised (LOT-R) is a 10-item measure of dispositional optimism developed by Scheier, Carver, and Bridges in 1994. It assesses the general expectancy that good things (versus bad things) will happen in the future. Optimism, as measured by the LOT-R, predicts coping success, health outcomes, and psychological well-being independent of self-efficacy or other personality factors. The revised version addressed psychometric concerns in the original 1985 LOT, improving clarity and reducing item ambiguity.	The Flourishing Scale (FS) is an 8-item measure of human flourishing developed by Diener and colleagues in 2010. It assesses psychological well-being across core dimensions including purpose, social connection, competence, and engagement. The scale operationalizes Aristotle's concept of eudaimonia—the realization of human potential—and provides researchers with a brief, validated tool for quantifying overall psychological flourishing independent of life satisfaction or mood.
