Abstract: Life Satisfaction Affected by Hope & Forgiveness 2 Abstract The present research attempted to verify the hypotheses that (1) there was a mediating pathway from optimistic explanatory style through hope to enhance life satisfaction, and (2) there was a mediating pathway from optimistic explanatory style through forgiveness to enhance life satisfaction. University undergraduate students were recruited from Hong Kong and Macau to participate in a self-reported questionnaire to assess their explanatory style, level of hope, level of forgiveness, and life satisfaction. 180 valid data was collected and results agreed with the research hypotheses. A mediating pathway from optimistic explanatory style through hope and forgiveness to increased life satisfaction was suggested. This echoed with recent researches that stated the significant role of hope and forgiveness in enhancing human physical and psychological health. Future research implications and directions were discussed. DOI: 10.5353/th_b3710166 Subjects: College students - Psychology
The literature has documented that negative life events such as divorce, financial issues, or relationship changes lead to various psychological concerns including depression, anxiety, or suicidal behaviors. However, several variables affect how people cope with negative life events. Among those variables, optimism, hope, and gratitude have been emphasized in the literature, and their relationships with several psychological outcomes have been studied. However, little is known about the effects of these variables on negative life events and their relationship to psychological distress and life satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between negative life events and psychological distress and life satisfaction. This study also examined the moderating effects of optimism, hope, and gratitude on negative life events' prediction of psychological distress and life satisfaction. This investigation tested the theoretical model that negative life events predicted psychological distress and life satisfaction in undergraduate students (N = 738). In addition, this investigation tested three theoretical interaction models that optimism, hope and gratitude moderated the relationships between negative life events and psychological distress and life satisfaction. The results revealed that negative life events predicted psychological distress and life satisfaction. Regarding moderating effects, optimism hope, and gratitude moderated negative life events' prediction of psychological distress, but not life satisfaction. These results are consistent with the existing literature on negative life events. The results and limitations are discussed along with suggestions for future research. Implications are presented for college counselors and counselor educators.
This volume collects the state-of-the-art research on forgiveness and mental and physical health and well-being. It focuses specifically on connections between forgiveness and its health and well-being benefits. Forgiveness has been examined from a variety of perspectives, including the moral, ethical and philosophical. Ways in which to become more forgiving and evolutionary theories of revenge and forgiveness have also been investigated and proposed. However, little attention has been paid to the benefits of forgiveness. This volume offers an examination of the theory, methods and research utilized in understanding these connections. It considers trait and state forgiveness, emotional and decisional forgiveness, and interventions to promote forgiveness, all with an eye toward the positive effects of forgiveness for a victim’s health and well-being. Finally, this volume considers key moderators such as gender, race, and age, as well as, explanatory mechanisms that might mediate links between forgiveness and key outcomes.
This study examines the effects of hope and mindfulness on the relationship between life experiences and resilience, as well as the direct relationships among these constructs. Participants were 537 undergraduates who were taking online courses at Texas A & M University. Most participants were traditionally-aged and female. Quantitative self-report measures for each construct were administered online via SurveyMonkey. The small, positive relationship between life events and resilience approached, but did not reach, statistical significance, and hope but not mindfulness was found to moderate this relationship. Correlations were significant, positive, and linear between resilience and hope (r = .57, p

This book provides research on the individual differences of hope. It reviews the role hope has in recovery and its impact on emotional health. Chapter One describes the importance of hope in peoples' personal and professional lives. Chapter Two presents hope as a major factor in predicting the resilience of families. Chapter Three attempts to explicate theoretically the impact of hope on adolescents' optimal achievement and its impact on their emotional well-beings. Chapter Four studies the relationship between hope, spirituality and life satisfaction, using a structural equation model approach. Chapter Five examines Polish students' and how their spiritual experiences mediate between hope and religiosity. Chapter Six uncovers the emotional problems preceding an eating disorder and the main reasons and explanations for the development of these problems. Chapter Seven explores the two-sided nature of hope as it pertains to decision-making at the end-of-life. Chapter Eight examines the experience of hope in caregivers of children with CI. Chapter Nine focuses on the revisiting and re-storying of hopeful actions and practices in the face of emotional hurt, physical pain, sorrow, loss and shattered dreams.
Perfectionism has traditionally been associated with a variety of negative consequences, but recent research has examined the positive associations of perfectionism. This study was designed to experimentally examine how perfectionists and non-perfectionists react to success and failure situations. Four hundred ten participants from universities in the Midwest volunteered in the study, which involved attempting to solve anagram tasks via the Internet. Participants were categorized as adaptive perfectionists, maladaptive perfectionists, and non-perfectionists according to the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R) and then randomized into a success or a failure condition. Half of the participants attempted to rearrange jumbled letters that had real word solution (success group), while the remaining the participants attempted to rearrange jumbled letters that could not spell anything (failure group). Then, both groups attempted to solve an unsolvable anagram task before completing the PANAS, a perceived stress scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. A 2-way MANOVA was used to test for differences between treatment conditions, among treatment groups, and for significant interaction effects. Significant differences were observed between Success and Failure groups, with the Success group reporting greater positive affect, less negative affect, and attempting to solve the final anagram task a greater amount of time. Significant differences were also observed among treatment groups, with Adaptive Perfectionists reporting greater positive affect, less negative affect, greater satisfaction with life, and less perceived stress than Maladaptive Perfectionists and Non-Perfectionists. Overall, Adaptive Perfectionists and Maladaptive Perfectionists attempted to solve the final anagram task significantly longer than Non-Perfectionists. A model of perfectionistic behavior was also examined through structural equation modeling, and results provide support for several tested models. This study supports previous research viewing perfectionism as multidimensional and associating positive and negative outcomes with particular aspects of perfectionism. Thus, counselors, parents, and teachers who understand the positive and negative aspects of perfectionism can confidently encourage individuals to establish high standards while being aware and responsive to the negative aspects of perfectionism.
To evaluate this explanation, the Academic Attributional Style Questionnaire (AASQ, Revised Defensive Pessimism Questionnaire (DPQ), and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) were administered to 188 undergraduate and graduate students from five colleges and universities. Measures of academic achievement included official course and exam grade as reported by the instructor as well as self-reported GPA.
A theoretically and empirically rich exploration of universal questions, this book examines the interplay of three distinct behavioral systems involved in romantic love. This integrative volume will be of interest to both researchers and clinicians.
