Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To examine the utility of the positivity ratio to distinguish differences in psychological and physiological health in African Americans with type 2 diabetes.
METHODS: Study participants (N = 93) were recruited through radio and church announcements and grouped by their positivity ratio.
RESULTS: Multivariate analyses showed flourishing individuals had the highest resilience and lowest depressive symptoms and HbA1c (A1C), whereas depressed individuals recorded the lowest resilience and highest depressive symptoms and A1C. Small to large effect sizes were reported.
CONCLUSIONS: Further support for the utility and generalizability of the positivity ratio was provided. Cultivating positive emotions may improve the health of individuals with type 2 diabetes.
