This research examines relationship between the unrealistically optimistic beliefs at early childhood and verbal intelligence at middle childhood. Fifty-six children participated at the age 4 and seven. The level of optimistic belief was measured using the malleability of negative traits and stability of positive traits over time(Choi & Kwak, 2007) and children's intelligence by K-WISC-Ⅲ. Our results reveal that high optimistic belief at early childhood was significantly related to their later verbal intelligence. This study examined optimistic belief at early childhood not as a psychological deficit but as a positive strength and proved that this trait longitudinally brought psychological adjustment to children.
