| dc.description.en-US.fl_txt_mv | This paper focuses on the study of the pessimistic-optimistic profiles in users of a community park, and the perception of their own physical activity. One of our major interests is to compare and further the understanding of these variables, as well as to analyze how they relate to gender. Pessimistic-optimistic profiles were evaluated using the Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) developed by Scheier and Carver (1985), and its Spanish version by Otero-López, Luengo, Romero, Triñanes, Gómez and Castro (1998), while perception of physical activity was evaluated by a single question with a dichotomous response. 45 park users, between 17 and 53 years old, took part in this study. The results show a statistically significant bias in the optimism-pessimism factor; with the optimistic profile representing 82% of the sample. We did not find any statistically significant gender related bias in the optimism- pessimism factor. We have found a statistically significant gender related bias in the perception of own physical activity in relation to gender, with men showing higher scores. Finally, the result allows us to establish that there is a predominance of optimistic people who see themselves as active persons. However no statistically significant differences were observed when optimism and active self perception, or pessimism and passive self perception, were analyzed. |

Dentro de los objetivos planteados en esta investigación, está presente el interés profundizar y comparar las diferencias que se pudieran presentar entre estas variables y el género. Se administró el Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) elaborado por Scheier y Carver (1985), en su versión española de Otero-López, Luengo, Romero, Triñanes, Gómez y Castro (1998) para valorar el perfil optimista-pesimista, mientras que para evaluar la percepción de actividad se realizó una pregunta, con un tipo de respuesta dicotómica, a 45 usuarios de edades comprendidas entre los 17 y 53 años. En relación a los resultados encontrados, se pudo observar una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los factores optimismo-pesimismo, siendo el perfil optimista, el que presenta un amplio predominio, representando un 82 % de la muestra total. No encontramos aquí, diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el género y los factores. Asimismo, la variable percepción de actividad, sí presenta diferencias estadísticamente significativas en relación al género, cuyo resultado evidencia un amplio margen en favor de los hombres. Por último, los resultados alcanzados nos permiten establecer que hay un predominio de personas optimistas que se perciben como activas, sin existir diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los factores disposicionales: optimismo-pesimismo y la percepción de actividad: activo-pasivo. |
