Optimism, Hope, and Well-being Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development Psychological Well-being and Life Satisfaction

Abstract

How do optimism and hope develop in young people? How can they be promoted? This article reviews research on the development of optimism and hope and interventions designed to build these qualities in youth. The Penn Resiliency Program is discussed as an example of a school-based intervention that may promote hope and prevent symptoms of depression and anxiety. Limits of existing studies and directions for future research are also discussed.
