Hopeful Thinking
摘要
The original cognitive theory posits that hope has three core components: goal, agency, and pathway thinking. Based on this theory, the SHINE framework adopts an expanded model of hope that incorporates goal disengagement, goal reengagement, and sub-goaling, illustrating how high-hope individuals adaptively adjust their goals in response to adversity. The distinction between hope and optimism is clarified, highlighting the focus in hope on goal-directed cognition and its relevance to resilience. Research findings underscore the significant role of hope in psychological adjustment during challenging circumstances, including its protective effects against distress and its capacity to foster positive outcomes in high-risk populations. The chapter concludes that cultivating a hopeful mindset is crucial for navigating adversity, enabling individuals to identify new goals, and maintaining resilience in the face of setbacks. Practical exercises to cultivate hope are introduced.
