Hope – a driving force of optimal human development
Original language description
In psychology, hope can be understood as hopeful thinking, emotional experience, character strength, or a transcendental phenomenon. In our research we distinguish between two main perspectives of hope: dispositional hope (an individualistic, cognitive perspective) and perceived hope (a transcendental, spiritual perspective). The common aim of a number of our research studies on hope was to explore the role of dispositional and perceived hope in life satisfaction, depression, quality of interpersonal relationships, and physical health. We investigated how hopeful thinking gets reflected in different kinds of life experience in children, students, adults, old people, but also homeless shelter workers and clients. Recently, we studied the role of hope in subjective well-being on a large sample of 1,400 respondents from the Czech Republic, aged between 15 and 80 years.
