Optimism, Hope, and Well-being Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Psychotherapy Techniques and Applications

Abstract

Hope is eminent in the pursuit of progress; however, hope is a concept about which much is still to be understood. Ward and Wampler (2010 Ward, D. B., & Wampler, K. S. (2010). Moving up the continuum of hope: Developing a theory of hope and understanding its influence in couples therapy. Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 36(2), 212–228. doi:10.1111/j.1752-0606.2009.00173.x[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) interviewed marriage and family therapists regarding their perspective of hope. From these interviews, Ward and Wampler developed a theory of hope. This article presents the results of two studies aimed to develop Ward's Hope Scale and to establish the psychometrics of the scale. Results provide information related to the reliability, validity, factor structure, and predictability of Ward's Hope Scale, and support Ward's Hope Scale as a more relationally focused alternative to the measurement of hope.
