The Measurement of Pessimism: The Hopelessness Scale

Beck, Aaron T.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 42, 6, 861-865, Dec 74

This scale was found to have a high degree of internal consistency and showed a relatively high correlation with the clinical ratings of hopelessness and other self-administered measures of hopelessness.
