“…However, positive cognitions and emotions also appear to be important in reducing suicide risk, and reducing negative emotions may not automatically increase positive psychological states. For example, optimism and depression are only moderately correlated (median r=−.43 in 10 studies [9]), signaling that these constructs are not simply two sides of the same coin.…”

“…A further limitation is the absence of negative psychological indicators (e.g., depression, hostility) that would have given the opportunity to clearly decide whether better physiological functions should be attributed to the presence of positive characteristics or to the absence of negative ones. However, several studies suggest that cardiovascular benefits associated with positive psychological variables may be more than merely the absence of negative states (DuBois et al, 2012;Katri Räikkönen & Matthews, 2008;Ryff et al, 2006). Finally, many potentially relevant covariates (e.g., health behaviors, body mass index) were not included in the present analyses; however, considering the mostly negative findings, the inclusion of these variables most likely would not have affected substantially the inferences drawn from the data.…”

“…However, our knowledge is limited and inconsistent about the specific biological means through which these components of human flourishing may be associated with the etiology and progression of heart diseases. For instance, most of the work on the physiological correlates of positive attributes has focused on optimism or transitory positive states, investigated either clinical or healthy populations, and their samples often consisted of only one sex (Boehm & Kubzansky, 2012;DuBois et al, 2012).…”
