PY - 2011 DA - 2011/11/08 TI - A Meta-Analysis of hope enhancement strategies in clinical and community settings JO - Psychology of Well-Being: Theory, Research and Practice SP - 5 VL - 1 IS - 1 AB - The last two decades have seen the development of theoretical models of hope, which have greatly influenced the field of positive psychology and the study of well-being. Recently, there has been increased interest in using these theories to create interventions and other strategies to enhance hopefulness among clinic-referred individuals and members of the community. We used meta-analysis to determine whether these hope enhancement strategies were associated with (a) increased hopefulness, (b) improved life satisfaction, and (c) decreased psychological distress among participants.
