pessimist (even pessimists think it, of course). People always

say "Cheer up. Don't worry, be happy. Smile." But in fact there's
a kind of pessimism - called "defensive pessimism" - that can
os lead to very positive results, according to Julie K. Norem, a
professor of psychology at Wellesley College, Massachusetts.
"Defensive pessimism is a strategy used in specific situations
to manage anxiety, fear, and worry," says Norem. Studies show
that 30 to 35 percent of Americans use it to help them in their
1 0 lives, and they're often very successful people.

Defensive pessimists think about future situations and

prepare for them by imagining all the things that can go
wrong. For example, if a defensive pessimist has an important
exam, they think this:
f Do you think defensive pessimism is a good idea?
Can you think of any situations where you behave
in this way?
