现在来看看你的分数和每个问题有怎样的联系：
Question 1 addresses a general form of destructive thinking. If you rate yourself a 5 on this item, it suggests that you may partially create your own misfortune, allowing yourself to be overly influenced by the occurrence of one disturbing event. In general, destructive thinking involves automatically coming up with interpretations of situations that prevent you from adapting and coping with them.
问题1强调的是破坏性思维的一般形式。如果在这一项上你给自己打5分，说明在一定程度上你为自己创造了不幸，让已发生的干扰性事件过度的影响你。一般来说，破坏性的想法自然而然地伴随着你对环境的理解而来，你对环境的理解会阻止你适应和应对所发生的事件。
Question 2 explores emotional coping, or the ability to calm yourself down by helping yourself to feel better. If you’re strong in this area, you’ve figured out ways to avoid worrying and instead to focus on the positive. By seeing situations as challenging rather than fear-provoking, you’ll be able to conquer them more effectively. A 5 on this item means you're good at self-soothing your way to success.
问题2探索的是情绪应对，或者说，探索的是通过帮助自己感觉好一些来平复情绪的能力。如果你在这一领域很擅长，你会想出应对方法来避免担忧，以积极想法代替消极想法。将困难看做是一种挑战而不是一个触发恐惧的事情，这样你就能更有效的战胜这些困难。在这一项上打5分，意味着你很擅长通过自己的方式安慰自己从而获得成功。
Question 3 conveys behavioral coping, also called “problem-focused.” This item taps your ability to get yourself through the tough times by concentrating on what must be done, building your feelings of self-confidence to give you a boost, so a 5 is a positive score. To be strong in this area, you almost have to be able to launch those action-oriented thoughts automatically.
问题3传达的是行为应对，也称“问题焦点”。这一条帮助你发掘自身度过艰难时期的能力，将注意力放在必须做的事情上，通过建立自信带给你动力，所以5分是一个非常积极的分数。为了在这一领域变强，你必须自然而然地想到行为指向型的想法。
Question 4 demonstrates naïve optimism, the tendency to overgeneralize in a positive way from one good event to all related events in general. A 5 means that you tend to jump to conclusions too quickly, assuming that one positive outcome will guarantee all future outcomes to be positive, also.
问题4展现了天真乐观精神，倾向于以一种积极的方式以偏概全，从一件好的事情延伸到所有相关的一般事件中。打5分，意味着你太快地跳到了结论，假设一个积极的结果就可以保证未来所有的结果也是积极的。
Question 5 expresses categorical thinking, in which you view everything in black and white terms. One of the qualities of maturity is the ability to understand that what’s wrong and right (within bounds) may vary according to the situational context. Scoring 5 on this item means that you’ll have more difficulty adapting when the situation demands that you take a less extreme position.
问题5表达的是绝对思维，你看待每一件事情都是非黑即白。成熟的特质之一就是明白对错（界限之内）要根据形式环境判断。在这一项上打5分意味着，如果形势要求你站在一个不那么极端的位置上，你在适应方面可能会有更多的问题。
