“…These related constructs share a relationship via mediating effects between variables related to other positive emotions as well. Hope mediated the relationship between family cohesion and well-being in Chinese adolescents and young adults (Xiang et al, 2020), between religiosity and well-being in Iranian Muslim university students (Aghababaei et al, 2016) and partially mediated the relationship between positive emotions and life satisfaction in Chinese college students (Chang et al, 2019).…”

“…Well-being represents the pinnacle of mental health and the heart of positive psychology (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). The relationship between hope and well-being holds true for individuals from across the globe and for a variety of age ranges (e.g., Chang et al, 2019;Kardas et al, 2019;Kaye-Tzadok et al, 2019;Xiang et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of this emergent mixed methods study was to measure hope in individuals living in poverty and to explore potential contextual influences on hope. We used a sequential mixed methods study in which the quantitative phase was administered first followed by a qualitative phase. Participants in impoverished areas scored higher in hope than a comparison group of university students. In a follow-up qualitative phase, participants named contributors to and detractors from hope that included experiences driven by environmental factors. Findings were organized according to Ecological Systems Theory (EST). Participants named factors from all levels of EST, and interactions between levels were evident. These results and findings support the inclusion of relevant contextual factors in psychological inquiry, and we suggest deliberate inclusion of individuals from all socioeconomic groups in future positive psychological research.

“…In addition to those brain regions within the vmFL, hope might be linked to other brain regions as well. Kong et al (2015) found that the postcentral gyrus (PCG), which is where the primary sensorimotor network (SEN) is located, is an area of the brain that is highly significant to cognitive well-being, which is highly related to the positive psychological trait of hope (Xiang et al, 2020). Therefore, brain regions involving vmFL (e.g., mOFC) and PCG are also likely to be associated with hope.…”

Hope is an important aspect of positive psychological function and critical indicator of mental health in college students. Hope focuses on individual goal-related thoughts and is usually regarded as a general disposition toward engaging in conscious efforts to obtain goals (Snyder, 1995;Snyder et al., 1991), including pathway thinking (planning to meet goals) and agency thinking (goal-directed determination) (Snyder, 1995). Convergent evidence has indicated associations among hope and a number of positive outcomes, such as high levels of self-esteem (Du et al., 2015), greater life satisfaction (Pallini et al., 2018), reduced anxiety (Muyan et al., 2015), and decreased depressive symptoms (Li et al., 2018). Thus, given its various potential benefits, it is necessary to explore influencing factors that may contribute to the development of hope.Evidence from several previous studies has indicated that hope can be formed by individual factors (i.e., optimism, self-concept, and coping style) (Jahangiri-Zadeh
