Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if life orientation predicted psychological well-being in Haitian American adolescents. One-hundred Haitian American adolescents completed the Life Orientation Test-R as well as depression, anxiety, self-esteem and self-efficacy measures. The results were conclusive. The findings suggest the benefits of school-based positive psychology interventions.
