El propósito de esta investigación fue determinar la relación del sesgo cognitivo de optimismo en el bienestar subjetivo y psicológico en una muestra de universitarios del Ecuador. Para ello, se implementó un estudio descriptivo, correlacional y de corte transversal, a través de la aplicación de cuestionarios de satisfacción con la vida, afectos positivos y negativos, bienestar psicológico, orientación de vida y visión del futuro, en una muestra de 400 participantes (67% mujeres y 33% hombres), con edad media de 21,3 años, estudiantes de una universidad pública (66.5%) y una cofinanciada (37.5%) de la ciudad de Ambato, Ecuador. Según los resultados, el optimismo disposicional se correlaciona con la satisfacción con la vida (r=.378), los afectos positivos (r=.357) y los negativos (r=-.413), y el bienestar psicológico (r=.616), mientras que los sesgos de optimismo ilusorio (r=.221) e ilusión de invulnerabilidad (r=-.235) lo hacen únicamente con el bienestar psicológico. Como conclusión se adelanta que existe evidencia de racionalidad limitada a través de los sesgos que estimulan el bienestar.

The purpose of our research was to determine the relation between the cognitive bias of optimism and subjective and psychological wellbeing in a sample of Ecuadorian university students. To that effect, a cross-cutting, correlational, descriptive study was implemented. Questionnaires regarding life satisfaction, positive and negative affects, psychological wellbeing, life orientation, and vision for the future were applied in sample of 400 participants (67% women and 33% men), average age 21.3, studying in a public university (66.5%) and a co-financed university (37.5%) in the city of Ambato, Ecuador. According to the results, dispositional optimism is correlated with life satisfaction (r=.378), positive affects (r=.357) and negative affects (r=-.413), and psychological wellbeing (r=.616), while the illusory optimism (r=.221) and the illusion of invulnerability biases (r=-.235) are correlated only with psychological wellbeing. We conclude that there is evidence of bounded rationality as a result of biases that promote wellbeing.

Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de determinar a relação do viés cognitivo de otimismo no bem-estar subjetivo e psicológico em uma amostra de universitários do Equador. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo descritivo, correlacional e de corte transversal, por meio da aplicação de questionários de satisfação com a vida, afetos positivos e negativos, bem-estar psicológico, orientação de vida e visão do futuro, em uma amostra de 400 participantes (67% mulheres e 33% homens), com idade média de 21,3 anos, estudantes de uma universidade pública (66.5%) e uma cofinanciada (37.5%) da cidade de Ambato, Equador. Segundo os resultados, o otimismo disposicional se correlaciona com a satisfação com a vida (r=.378), com os afetos positivos (r=.357) e os negativos (r=-.413), e com o bem-estar psicológico (r=.616), enquanto os vieses de otimismo ilusório (r=.221) e ilusão de invulnerabilidade (r=-.235) acontecem unicamente com o bem-estar psicológico. Como conclusão, existe evidência de racionalidade limitada por meio dos vieses que estimulam o bem-estar.
