ug19a001In general I expect that more positive things than negative things will happen to me.
ug19a002When I feel stuck, I know lots of ways to resolve this.
ug19a003Right now I would consider myself fairly successful.
ug19a004I am able to remain calm in difficult situations because I am confident that I have ways of dealing with difficult things.
ug19a005It’s OK if there are people who don’t like me.
ug19a006I look forward to my life in the future.
ug19a007I sometimes force myself to do things, whether I like it or not.
ug19a008I can think of many ways to reach the goals I have presently set myself.
ug19a009I am confident in my ability to deal effectively with unexpected situations.
ug19a010I can solve most problems if I make enough effort.
ug19a011The future has lots of good things in store for me.
ug19a012Whenever I find myself in a difficult situation, I can usually find a solution.
ug19a013How often did you get upset because something unexpected happened?
ug19a014How often did you have the feeling that you were not managing to keep everything under control?
ug19a015How often did you feel stressed and nervous?
ug19a016How often did you have the feeling that you could deal with your personal problems?
ug19a017How often did you have the feeling that things were going the way you wanted them to?
ug19a018How often did you experience that you were unable to deal with all the things you were supposed to do?
ug19a019How often did you have to keep a lid on your annoyances?
ug19a020How often did you have the feeling that you could deal with everything life might throw at you?
ug19a021How often did you get agitated about things you were unable to influence?
ug19a022How often did you experience that difficulties piled up so high you were no longer able to deal with them?
ug19a023Recognizable images, sounds and smells from my childhood years often evoke beautiful memories.
ug19a024If something needs to be finished for tomorrow, then it’s important to finish that first before treating yourself to (fun) things this evening.
ug19a025I find it hard to forget unpleasant memories from my childhood.
ug19a026Pure luck often takes you further in life than hard work.
ug19a027I think about the unpleasant things that happened to me in the past.
ug19a028When I want to achieve something, I set goals and then determine exactly what it will take to reach those goals.
ug19a029I am easily visited by memories of pleasant times.
ug19a030I make choices and decisions quickly and spontaneously.
ug19a031I keep replaying in my mind painful experiences from the past.
ug19a032I get things done in time because I work diligently at them.
ug19a033Since things will happen as they happen, it doesn’t make much difference what I do.
ug19a034Life today is too difficult, I wish it were simpler like in the past.
ug19a035Taking risks prevents my life from becoming dull.
ug19a036I like stories about how things were ‘in the good old time’.
ug19a037It is important to add excitement and adventure to my life.
