Hope as a psychiatric variable

Abstract: PROBLEMIn his recent book, The Psychology of Hope, Stotland(3) presented 'ihopefl as a shorthand term for an expectation about goal attainment: hopefulness referred to high expectancies and hopelessness to low expectancies of success. While he focused on the level of perceived probability of goal attainment as the core variable, his discussion also attended to the perceived importance of the goal. He viewed hopefulness as a factor in adaptive action and positive affect and hopelessness as involved in maladapti… Show more

“…Several scales exist measuring the concept of hope (Erickson, Post, & Paige, 1975;Herth, 1991;Snyder et al, 1991;Staats & Stassen, 1985). For the current study, the Dispositional Hope Scale (DHS) was selected to measure the concept of hope due to its internal reliability and its construct validity.…”

“…Data indicating that depressed persons tend to be hopeless (cf. Erickson, Post, & Paige, 1975;Gottschalk, 1974;Minkoff, Bergman, Beck, & Beck, 1973;Prociuk et al, 1976) are clearly consistent with Beck's theory (a "negative view of the future"). These findings may appear not to be predicted by the helplessness model, which does not claim that the depressed person expects the worst to happen, only that he believes he has no control over what does happen.…”
