Abstract

A new Outlook on Life measure was constructed to identify how adolescents and children see their lives. Three scales were formed and named the View of Parents, View of Adults and View of Self scales. The three scales were found to correlate highly with subjects' emotional state: the more positive views they had of their parents, adults and their own life, the less depressed they felt.
