Abstract

a b S t r a c tThe aim of this research is to examine the relationships between subjective happiness and hope. The participants were 435 university students. In this study, the Integrative Hope Scale and the Subjective Happiness Scale were used. The relationships between were examined using correlation analysis and Structural Equation Model (SEM). In correlation analysis, trust and confidence, positive future orientation, and social relations and personal value sub factors of hope were found positively related to subjective happiness. On the other hand, lack of perspective sub factor of hope was found negatively correlated to subjective happiness. Structural Equation Model showed that subjective happiness was predicted positively by trust and confidence, positive future orientation, and social relations and personal value. However, subjective happiness was negatively explained by lack of perspective. According to standardized beta coefficients (β= 0.34), the most significant predictor of subjective happiness was trust and confidence. Results were discussed in the light of the related literature.

Los participantes fueron 435 estudiantes universitarios. En este estudio, se utilizaron la Escala de Esperanza Integrativa y la Escala de Felicidad Subjetiva. Las relaciones fueron examinadas usando análisis de correlación y modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM). En el análisis de correlación, la verdad y la confianza, la orientación positiva al futuro, y las relaciones sociales y los subfactores de valores personales de esperanza presentaron una relación positiva con la felicidad subjetiva. Por otro lado, la falta del subfactor de perspectiva de esperanza se encontró una correlación negativa con la felicidad subjetiva. El Modelo de Ecuaciones Estructurales mostró que la felicidad subjetiva se predijo positivamente por la verdad y la confianza, orientación positiva al futuro, y las relaciones sociales y el valor personal. Sin embargo, la felicidad subjetiva se explicó negativamente por la falta de perspectiva. De acuerdo con los coeficientes beta estandarizados (β = 0.34), el predictor más importante de la felicidad subjetiva fue la verdad y la confianza. Los resultados se discuten a la luz de la literatura relacionada.

“…Moreover, interventions directed towards developing hope have been effective in decreasing the development of psychological disorders (Rustøen et al 2011) and PTSD (Yousefi et al 2016). On the other hand, hope has a positive correlation with subjective happiness (Sariçam 2015) and subjective well-being (Kato and Snyder 2005;Satici 2016;Shenaar-Golan 2017;Yalçın and Malkoç 2015). Thus, the finding here that hope appears to develop mental health by decreasing fear can be said to exhibit similar features with the findings of previous research.…”

“…Similarly, interventions programs that facilitate hope decrease psychological symptoms (Rustøen et al 2011). On the other hand, hope has a positive association with subjective happiness (Sariçam 2015) and subjective well-being (Kato and Snyder 2005;Satici 2016; Shenaar-Golan 2017; Yalçın and Malkoç 2015). When these findings are taken as a whole, hope can be thought of as playing a protective role that stimulates good mental health and counteracts psychological problems caused by COVID-19.…”

“…Consequently, hope can be considered a protective factor for mental well-being (Satici et al, 2023), and evidence suggests that hope underpins the recovery process in mental illness and defines it as the beginning of recovery, along with personal and environmental factors that converge in healing (Acharya & Agius, 2017). Research has demonstrated that hope is positively associated with personal growth (Vuyk & Codas, 2022), occupational engagement and career development (Vuyk et al, 2020), subjective happiness (Sariҫam, 2015), well-being (Shenaar-Golan, 2017) and resilience (Senger, 2023). Resilience is the personal capacity to adapt to trauma, adversity, stressors and tragedies (Wells et al, 2012), and is considered a protective factor for psychological disorders (Satici et al, 2023).…”
