This study tests whether dispositional optimism reflects a time\u2010stable source of subjectivity in SRH or an adaptive evaluative filter through which changing health is interpreted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using longitudinal data from the US Health and Retirement Study, 16,902 adults aged 50+ were analysed with threshold\u2010specific latent growth curve models. SRH was modelled across four positive\u2010health thresholds: \u2018Excellent,\u2019 \u2018Very Good+,\u2019 \u2018Good+\u2019 and \u2018Fair+.\u2019 Stable optimism was examined as a predictor of SRH persistence, H1, and as a moderator of health changes, including depressive symptoms, new diagnoses, mobility limitations and ADLs, H2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Stable optimism significantly predicted higher odds of positive SRH across thresholds per H1. Evidence for H2 was insufficient: optimism did not consistently weaken the association between worsening health and lower odds of positive SRH. SRH remained responsive to depressive symptoms, chronic conditions and functional limitations across thresholds.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Optimism contributes to SRH primarily as a stable evaluative anchor rather than as a consistent buffer against health decline.
