Sažetak
Recent research seems to have uncovered a form of pessimism that might be adaptive for individuals who exhibit it. Defensive pessimism, a strategy which involves setting low expectations in risky situations in order to prepare for failure, does not appear to hamper performance and may even bring about performance-related benefits. However, the adaptiveness of this strategy has only been evaluated in a particular context, and cannot be generalized across all situations.
