BACKGROUND: This study aimed at examining the relationships between optimism and life satisfaction in persons with schizophrenia living in the community. METHOD: In total, 108 persons with schizophrenia who live in the community, ranging in age from 20 to 67 years, completed measures of optimism, perceived stress and life satisfaction. RESULTS: Results showed that optimism significantly predicted life satisfaction even after controlling for gender, age, onset age, employment and perceived stress. CONCLUSION: Findings add further support to the growing body of evidence implicating that the intervention for enhancing life satisfaction in persons with schizophrenia dwelling in the community could focus on increasing optimism
