Summing up the process of conceptualization of positive orientation theory ( POT ), the results of empirical studies which confirmed its validity, the operationalization of the positive orientation as a personality disposition in the Positivity Scale (PS), and the verification of the scale responsibility and empirical validity, it can be established that POT is a very promising, empirically validated theory. The dissemination of the POT and the PS in high‐impact scientific journals is an important contribution to the research on well‐being and in the domains of health psychology and positive psychology as well.
