Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect
to events and circumstances in one's life or the world at large.[1] As a verb, its definitions include:
"expect with confidence" and "to cherish a desire with anticipation."[2]
Among its opposites are dejection, hopelessness, and despair.[3]

In psychology[edit]

Hope, which lay at the bottom of the box, remained. Allegorical painting by George Frederic Watts, 1886

Professor of Psychology Barbara Fredrickson argues that hope comes into its own when crisis
looms, opening us to new creative possibilities.[4] Frederickson argues that with great need comes an
unusually wide range of ideas, as well as such positive emotions as happiness and joy, courage,
and empowerment, drawn from four different areas of one's self: from a cognitive, psychological,
social, or physical perspective.[5] Hopeful people are "like the little engine that could, [because] they
keep telling themselves "I think I can, I think I can".[6] Such positive thinking bears fruit when based
on a realistic sense of optimism, not on a naive "false hope".[7]
The psychologist Charles R. Snyder linked hope to the existence of a goal, combined with a
determined plan for reaching that goal:[8] Alfred Adler had similarly argued for the centrality of goal-
seeking in human psychology,[9] as too had philosophical anthropologists like Ernst Bloch.[10] Snyder
also stressed the link between hope and mental willpower, as well as the need for realistic
perception of goals,[11] arguing that the difference between hope and optimism was that the former
included practical pathways to an improved future.[12] D. W. Winnicott saw a child's antisocial
behavior as expressing an unconscious hope[further explanation needed] for management by the wider society,
when containment within the immediate family had failed.[13] Object relations theory similarly sees the
analytic transference as motivated in part by an unconscious hope that past conflicts and traumas
can be dealt with anew.[14]
Hope theory[edit]
As a specialist in positive psychology, Snyder studied how hope and forgiveness can impact several
aspects of life such as health, work, education, and personal meaning. He postulated that there are
three main things that make up hopeful thinking:[15]

 Goals – Approaching life in a goal-oriented way.

  Pathways – Finding different ways to achieve your goals.
 Agency – Believing that you can instigate change and achieve
these goals.

Auschwitz, a rose expressing hope

In other words, hope was defined as the perceived capability to derive pathways to desired goals
and motivate oneself via agency thinking to use those pathways.
Snyder argues that individuals who are able to realize these three components and develop a belief
in their ability are hopeful people who can establish clear goals, imagine multiple workable pathways
toward those goals, and persevere, even when obstacles get in their way.
Snyder proposed a "Hope Scale" which considered that a person's determination to achieve their
goal is their measured hope. Snyder differentiates between adult-measured hope and child-
measured hope. The Adult Hope Scale by Snyder contains 12 questions; 4 measuring 'pathways
thinking', 4 measuring 'agency thinking', and 4 that are simply fillers. Each subject responds to each
question using an 8-point scale.[16] Fibel and Hale measure hope by combining Snyder's Hope Scale
with their own Generalized Expectancy for Success Scale (GESS) to empirically measure
hope.[17] Snyder regarded that psychotherapy can help focus attention on one's goals, drawing
on tacit knowledge of how to reach them.[18] Similarly, there is an outlook and a grasp of reality to
hope, distinguishing No Hope, Lost Hope, False Hope and Real Hope, which differ in terms of
viewpoint and realism.[19]

Contemporary philosopher Richard Rorty understands hope as more than goal setting, rather as
a metanarrative, a story that serves as a promise or reason for expecting a better future. Rorty
as postmodernist believes past meta–narratives, including the Christian story, utilitarianism,
and Marxism have proved false hopes; that theory cannot offer social hope; and that liberal man
must learn to live without a consensual theory of social hope.[20] Rorty says a new document of
promise is needed for social hope to exist again.[21]

In healthcare[edit]
Major theories[edit]
Of the countless models that examine the importance of hope in an individual's life, there are two
major theories that have gained a significant amount of recognition in the field of psychology. One of
these theories, developed by Charles R. Snyder, argues that hope should be viewed as a cognitive
skill that demonstrates an individual's ability to maintain drive in the pursuit of a particular
goal.[22] This model reasons that an individual's ability to be hopeful depends on two types of thinking:
agency thinking and pathway thinking. Agency thinking refers to an individual's determination to
achieve their goals despite possible obstacles, while pathway thinking refers to the ways in which an
individual believes they can achieve these personal goals.
Snyder's theory uses hope as a mechanism that is most often seen in psychotherapy. In these
instances, the therapist helps their client overcome barriers that have prevented them from achieving
goals. The therapist would then help the client set realistic and relevant personal goals (i.e. "I am
going to find something I am passionate about and that makes me feel good about myself"), and
would help them remain hopeful of their ability to achieve these goals, and suggest the correct
pathways to do so.
Whereas Snyder's theory focuses on hope as a mechanism to overcome an individual's lack of
motivation to achieve goals, the other major theory developed by Kaye A. Herth deals more
specifically with an individual's future goals as they relate to coping with illnesses.[23] Herth views
hope as "a motivational and cognitive attribute that is theoretically necessary to initiate and sustain
action toward goal attainment".[24] Establishing realistic and attainable goals in this situation is more
difficult, as the individual most likely does not have direct control over the future of their health.
Instead, Herth suggests that the goals should be concerned with how the individual is going to
personally deal with the illness—"Instead of drinking to ease the pain of my illness, I am going to
surround myself with friends and family".[24]
While the nature of the goals in Snyder's model differ with those in Herth's model, they both view
hope as a way to maintain personal motivation, which ultimately will result in a greater sense of
optimism.
Major empirical findings[edit]
Hope, and more specifically, particularized hope, has been shown to be an important part of the
recovery process from illness; it has strong psychological benefits for patients, helping them to cope
more effectively with their disease.[25] For example, hope motivates people to pursue healthy
behaviors for recovery, such as eating fruits and vegetables, quitting smoking, and engaging in
regular physical activity. This not only helps to enhance people's recovery from illnesses, but also
helps prevent illness from developing in the first place.[26] Patients who maintain high levels of hope
have an improved prognosis for life-threatening illness and an enhanced quality of life.[27] Belief and
expectation, which are key elements of hope, block pain in patients suffering from chronic illness by
releasing endorphins and mimicking the effects of morphine. Consequently, through this process,
belief and expectation can set off a chain reaction in the body that can make recovery from chronic
illness more likely. This chain reaction is especially evident with studies demonstrating the placebo
effect, a situation when hope is the only variable aiding in these patients’ recovery.[26]
Overall, studies have demonstrated that maintaining a sense of hope during a period of recovery
from illness is beneficial. A sense of hopelessness during the recovery period has, in many
instances, resulted in adverse health conditions for the patient (i.e. depression and anxiety following
the recovery process).[citation needed] Additionally, having a greater amount of hope before and during
cognitive therapy has led to decreased PTSD-related depression symptoms in war veterans.[28] Hope
has also been found to be associated with more positive perceptions of subjective health. However,
reviews of research literature have noted that the connections between hope and symptom severity
in other mental health disorders are less clear, such as in cases of individuals with schizophrenia.[29]
Applications[edit]
The inclusion of hope in treatment programs has potential in both physical and mental health
settings. Hope as a mechanism for improved treatment has been studied in the contexts of PTSD,
chronic physical illness, and terminal illness, among other disorders and ailments.[28][29] Within mental
health practice, clinicians have suggested using hope interventions as a supplement to more
traditional cognitive behavioral therapies.[29] In terms of support for physical illness, research
suggests that hope can encourage the release of endorphins and enkephalins, which help to block
pain.[26]
Impediments[edit]
There are two main arguments based on judgement against those who are advocates of using hope
to help treat severe illnesses. The first of which is that if physicians have too much hope, they may
aggressively treat the patient. The physician will hold on to a small shred of hope that the patient
may get better. Thus, this causes them to try methods that are costly and may have many side
effects. One physician noted[30] that she regretted having hope for her patient; it resulted in her
patient suffering through three more years of pain that the patient would not have endured if the
physician had realized recovery was infeasible.
The second argument is the division between hope and wishing. Those that are hopeful are actively
trying to investigate the best path of action while taking into consideration the obstacles.
Research[26] has shown though that many of those who have "hope" are wishfully thinking and
passively going through the motions, as if they are in denial about their actual circumstances. Being
in denial and having too much hope may negatively impact both the patient and the physician.
Benefits[edit]
The impact that hope can have on a patient's recovery process is strongly supported through both
empirical research and theoretical approaches. However, reviews of literature also maintain that
more longitudinal and methodologically-sound research is needed to establish which hope
interventions are actually the most effective, and in what setting (i.e. chronic illness vs. terminal
illness).[29]

In culture[edit]

In the matter of globalization, hope is focused on economic and social empowerment.

Focusing on parts of Asia, hope has taken on a secular or materialistic form in relation to the pursuit
of economic growth. Primary examples are the rise of the economies of China and India, correlating
with the notion of Chindia. A secondary relevant example is the increased use of contemporary
architecture in rising economies, such as the building of the Shanghai World Financial Center, Burj
Khalifa and Taipei 101, which has given rise to a prevailing hope within the countries of origin.[31] In
chaotic environments hope is transcended without cultural boundaries, Syrian refugee children are
supported by UNESCO's education project through creative education and psycho-social
assistance.[32] Other inter-cultural support for instilling hope involve food culture, disengaging
refugees from trauma through immersing them in their rich cultural past.[33]

In literature[edit]

Engraving of Pandora trying to close the box that she had opened out of curiosity. At left, the evils of the world
taunt her as they escape. The engraving is based on a painting by F. S. Church.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and
never stops at all.
— Emily Dickinson[34]

A classic reference to hope which has entered modern language is the concept that "Hope springs
eternal" taken from Alexander Pope's Essay on Man, the phrase reading "Hope springs eternal in
the human breast, Man never is, but always to be blest:"[35] Another popular reference, "Hope is the
thing with feathers," is from a poem by Emily Dickinson.[36]
Hope can be used as an artistic plot device and is often a motivating force for change in dynamic
characters. A commonly understood reference from western popular culture is the subtitle "A New
Hope" from the original first installment (now considered Episode IV) in the Star Wars science
fiction space opera.[37] The subtitle refers to one of the lead characters, Luke Skywalker, who is
expected in the future to allow good to triumph over evil within the plot of the films.
The swallow has been a symbol of hope, in Aesop's fables and numerous other historic
literature.[38] It symbolizes hope, in part because it is among the first birds to appear at the end of
winter and the start of spring.[39] Other symbols of hope include the anchor[40] and the dove.[41]

In mythology[edit]
Elpis (Hope) appears in ancient Greek mythology with the story of Zeus and Prometheus.
Prometheus stole fire from the god Zeus, which infuriated the supreme god. In turn, Zeus created a
box that contained all manners of evil, unbeknownst to the receiver of the box. Pandora opened the
box after being warned not to, and unleashed a multitude of harmful spirits that inflicted plagues,
diseases, and illnesses on mankind. Spirits of greed, envy, hatred, mistrust, sorrow, anger, revenge,
lust, and despair scattered far and wide looking for humans to torment. Inside the box, however,
there was also an unreleased healing spirit named Hope. From ancient times, people have
recognized that a spirit of hope had the power to heal afflictions and helps them bear times of great
suffering, illnesses, disasters, loss, and pain caused by the malevolent spirits and
events.[42] In Hesiod's Works and Days, the personification of hope is named Elpis.
Norse mythology however considered Hope (Vön) to be the slobber dripping from the mouth
of Fenris Wolf:[43] their concept of courage rated most highly a cheerful bravery in the absence of
hope.[44]

In religion[edit]
Hope is a key concept in most major world religions, often signifying the "hoper" believes an
individual or a collective group will reach a concept of heaven. Depending on the religion, hope can
be seen as a prerequisite for and/or byproduct of spiritual attainment.
Christianity[edit]

Hope is one of the three theological virtues of the Christian
religion,[45] alongside faith and love.[46] "Hope" in the Holy Bible means "a strong and confident
expectation" of future reward (see Titus 1:2). In modern terms, hope is akin to trust and a confident
expectation".[47] Paul the Apostle argued that hope was a source of salvation for Christians: "For in
hope we have been saved...if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly
for it"[47] (see Romans 8:25).
According to the Holman Bible Dictionary, hope is a "[t]rustful expectation...the anticipation of a
favorable outcome under God's guidance."[48] In The Pilgrim's Progress, it is Hopeful who comforts
Christian in Doubting Castle; while conversely at the entrance to Dante's Hell were the words, "Lay
down all hope, you that go in by me".[49]
Hinduism[edit]
In historic literature of Hinduism, hope is referred to with Pratidhi (Sanskrit:
प्रतिधी),[50] or Apêksh (Sanskrit: अपेक्ष).[51][52] It is discussed with the concepts of desire and wish.
In Vedic philosophy, karma was linked to ritual sacrifices (yajna), hope and success linked to correct
performance of these rituals.[53][54] In Vishnu Smriti, the image of hope, morals and work is
represented as the virtuous man who rides in a chariot directed by his hopeful mind to his desired
wishes, drawn by his five senses, who keeps the chariot on the path of the virtuous, and thus is not
distracted by the wrongs such as wrath, greed, and other vices.[55]
In the centuries that followed, the concept of karma changed from sacramental rituals to actual
human action that builds and serves society and human existence[53][54]–a philosophy epitomized in
the Bhagavad Gita. Hope, in the structure of beliefs and motivations, is a long-term karmic concept.
In Hindu belief, actions have consequences, and while one's effort and work may or may not bear
near term fruits, it will serve the good, that the journey of one's diligent efforts (karma) and how one
pursues the journey,[56] sooner or later leads to bliss and moksha.[53][57][58]
