Objective:To examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Optimism and Pessimism Scale (OPS -C) in Chinese college students. Methods:The questionnaire was administered to 540 college students. Results:The internal consistency reliability of the total score, optimism and pessimism subscale was 0.819, 0.791 and 0.751; and four -week test -retsest reliability coefficient was 0.724, 0.681 and 0.573; inter -item mean correlations was 0.115, 0.175 and 0.150; infraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) was 0.721, 0.630 and 0.493. The correlation coefficients between the total of the scale, optimism and pessimism subscale was 0.825, -0.803 and -0.330 respectively. The total and subscale of OPS -C had moderate correlation with corresponding scale of depression, anxiety, positive and negative emotion, life satisfaction and coping. And the results of confirmatory factor analyses ( χ2/df=2.201, GFI=0.875, AGFI= 0.858, RMSEA=0.047) indicated that the two-factor structure of the OPS-C was suitable for the Chinese college students.
