Snyder, C. R.; Shorey, Hal S.; Cheavens, Jennifer; Pulvers, Kimberley Mann; Adams, Virgil H., III; Wiklund, Cynthia
Journal of Educational Psychology, v94 n4 p820-26 Dec 2002
Hope theory integrates the conceptualization of goals, along with the strategies to achieve those goals, and the motivation to pursue those goals. In a 6-year longitudinal study, individual differences in hope, as measured by the Hope Scale scores of entering college freshmen, predicted better overall grade point averages. Hopeful thinking in college academics is discussed. (Contains 63 references.) (GCP)
