Abstract:Research revolving around character strengths has repeatedly shown that hope is a significant contributor to people’s wellbeing as well as hardiness. Interestingly, attributes that are used to describe people high in hope are also used to describe people high in hardiness. Hence, it was hypothesized that hardiness might mediate the association between hope and PWB. Furthermore, it was also hypothesized that hope has an effect on PWB over and above the effects of hardiness. As part of an overarching research project 102 students from the University of Twente participated in a cross-sectional online survey. 94 participants made up the data set (63.8% German, 67% female, age = 21.5 ± 2.6) A mediation analysis was then conducted with the data using the SPSS extension PROCESS Macro. Results revealed a non-significant association between of hope and PWB. In addition, the indirect effect appeared to be significant, indicating that hardiness fully mediates the association between hope and PWB. The current study did find a mediation effect of hardiness on the association between hope and PWB. Meaning that hardiness fully mediates the association between hope and PWB. However, no significant correlation was found between hope and PWB. Indicating no effect of hope on PWB.
