Abstract
This work reviews some aspects of the development of optimism at the stage of compulsory schooling. The starting point is socio-personal skills and Positive Psychology. It is suggested that the latter can make significant progress in understanding the development of strengths in our children and adolescents and that the knowledge that is being developed with the rise of Positive Psychology is particularly relevant for the understanding and development of such strengths. Analysed from the point of view of optimism, some theoretical aspects of construction, relations with personal adaptation, the factors that promote its development and the age at which these changes may take place are reviewed, ending with some interventions that have proved successful in controlled contexts.
