| Summary: | The current study examined the relationship between goal focused hope and spiritual hope, and whether these constructs independently predicted subjective well-being (sWb). two hundred and seven university staff and students completed measures of goal focused hope, spiritual hope, satisfaction with life, and positive affect. Goal focused and spiritual hope scores were not correlated. Via multiple regression analysis we found that goal focused hope, but not spiritual hope, was an independent predictor of well-being. However the regression analysis also showed a significant goal-focused hope by spiritual hope interaction for subjective well-being, which suggests that spiritual hope may have a buffering effect when goal focused hope is low. Further studies of hope and sWb are suggested and implications for clinical interventions are discussed. |
