Brain regions where rGMD was significantly associated with dispositional optimism
Region | Peak MNI coordinate | Peak T score | Cluster size (mm3) | ||

Positive correlation | |||||
Left putamen | −16 | 8 | −8 | 5.29 | 1,240 |
Right putamen | 22 | 10 | 0 | 3.67 | 944 |
Note: The threshold for significant regions was set as follows: p < .001 at the voxel level and p < .05 at the cluster level, the Gaussian random field approach.
