Ok, I'll rollback on this one then. I still think this highlights an issue that drastically reduces credibility in this type of research when they try to overload words to try to make things sound more interesting to people. I would not call that a true overlap with the human trait of pessimism.
But fair enough, at least it has a specific definition in this context which I figured it did not.
