V originále

The lecture summarises and comments upon own research findings related to the area of psychology of hope. It looks at the content and role of hope across the lifespan, dealing with various age groups – children, adolescents, adults, and older people. The common aim of a number of our research studies on hope was to explore the role of hope in mental health, life satisfaction, quality of interpersonal relationships, and physical health. There is evidence that not only does hope have an important effect on subjective well-being in everyday life, but that it also acts as a significant protective factor during life crises. For this reason, we also discuss the role of hope in the context of depression, homelessness, and coping with traumatic events. Due to the significant practical implications of the phenomenon of hope, the final part of the lecture briefly addresses the hope-enhancing interventions used in education, counselling, and psychotherapy.
