Hope and culture are currently two relevant concepts of interest across multiple fields such as psychology, anthropology, sociology, social work, government, education, and business. Both theories are significant for the facilitation of individual and social well-being, but there is limited knowledge available in the literature regarding how these two concepts interact and position with respect to each other, and about how they can be applied collectively to research, clinical, family and organizational practices. The purpose of this study is to comprehend from a conceptual perspective the relationships that exist between hope and culture and their implications for research and professional practices.
Keywords: hope, culture, empathy, resilience, research, therapy, organizations, family, clinical practice, counseling, cultural awareness, cultural improvement, cultural humility, smart culture.
