“…At an emotional level hope plays a role in sustaining people. Sherwin et al (1992) examined hope and burnout in the face of stressful occupations, finding that high-hope individuals suffer lower emotional exhaustion, enabling them to ameliorate the stress of the job into a less-depleting task.…”

Evidence that a variety of psychological dispositions vary systematically with social class has been reported in the marketing literature over the last 50 years. However, recent work has been extremely limited. Research progress has been stifled because of poor conceptual specification and lack of an integrative framework capable of grounding these dispositions in theory. This article draws upon the psychology of coping-specifically harnessing hope/hopelessness theories-to develop a much-needed framework. This will facilitate clear conceptual specification of the psychological dispositions where social class distinctions have been proposed, and specify the relations between each of the dispositions. The term cognitive capital is introduced to capture the idea that one's mix of psychological dispositions operates as a system that can be thought of as an important type of resource that is gradationally distributed with social class level. This cognitive-capital system impacts life chances and quality-of-life outcomes via the predominant pattern of coping responses that are employed in dealing with the many adversities, threats, and challenges that life typically presents. The framework provides academics with a vehicle to progress understanding of these psychological phenomena, marketing communicators with an enriched picture of class-based distinctions, and public policy makers with an understanding of levers that contribute to social inequality.

“…Using the total hope score, studies have shown that low hope is associated with poor adjustment, such as high negative affect (Snyder et al, 1991), depressive symptoms among college students (Chang, 2003), and burnout among nurses (Sherwin et al, 1992). The findings from a handful of studies have raised the possibility that both agency and pathways contribute uniquely to how hope is related to relevant external variables.…”

The Dispositional Hope Scale (DHS; Snyder et al., 1991) is composed of items assessing an individual's perception of his or her agency and pathways. This study examined support for the bifactor structure and relation of the factors in this model with depressive symptoms. It also examined cross-gender measurement invariance for the bifactor model. A community sample of 413 women and 257 men completed the DHS. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated more support for the bifactor model than the 1- and 2-factor models. Results also indicated full measurement invariance across gender for the bifactor and the 2-factor models. The general and the specific agency factors, but not the specific pathways factor, correlated with depressive symptoms. The better support for the bifactor model suggests that ideally hope has to be measured and examined by factors reflecting high covariance for agency and pathways, and also factors reflecting unique variances for agency and pathways. The support for full cross-gender measurement invariance indicated that there are no differences in measurement and scaling properties for the DHS across ratings provided by women and men, and therefore the DHS ratings can be scored in the same way for women and men.

“…The literature attests to the effects of hopefulness and optimism on psychological and physical well-being (Anderson & Snyder, 1988;Elliott, Witty, Herrick, & Hoffman, 1991;Lewis & Kliewer, 1996;Nunn, Lewin, Walton, & Carr, 1996;Sherwin et al, 1992;Snyder, Harris, et al, 1991;Snyder, Irving, & Anderson, 1991). Moreover, research findings suggest that coping may be one of the possible pathways by which individual differences in hopefulness and optimism lead to the production of adaptive outcomes.…”
