Furthermore, we researched about the possibilities to improve situational optimism in a notional case study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMethod: Transactional theory of stress and coping by Lazarus (1982) is the initial point of this paper. We explained appraisal and coping processes and pointed out, that optimism is a needful resource to overcome demanding situations. In the following notional case study, with a young wrestler we used the Life Orientation Test (Scheier \u0026amp; Carver, 1994) and the CAVE-Technique to analyze optimism status. Afterwards we generated hermeneutic ideas to improve the given situational optimism status.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResults: A four stadium model, including reflection-, confirmation-, implementation- and re-evaluation phase was created to increase situational optimism. With this, it was possible to reach higher control abilities and optimism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusions: Situational optimism is improvable with the help of the given model. Therefore it is important to re-appraise the outcome to develop adaptation and transformation. Probably it is possible to transfuse situational optimism to dispositional optimism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783640988358\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA notional case study in the field of youth sport\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783640988358","offer_id":39442875121757,"sku":"9783640988358","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/401844cd-d85b-4d42-881c-0dda35dd53c7.jpg?v=1777870805","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/optimism-as-a-personal-resource-for-coping-in-demanding-situations-a-notional-case-study-in-the-field-of-youth-sport-von-andre-matthias-muller","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
