Hope is associated with higher resilience, ability to adapt, and internal locus of control. Hope also serves as a psychological buffer during bad times. Carol Graham and Redzo Mujcic find in this Brookings Institution article that respondents with high levels of hope were less likely to be affected by negative life events and shocks and adapted more quickly and completely after those events. People with high levels of hope also had a higher internal locus of control and higher levels of well-being. A better understanding of the determinants of hope and its drivers can ultimately inform the ability of both individuals and of public policy to improve people’s lives. https://www.brookings.edu
