N2 - The main aim of the chapter is to present the results of a research study exploring the correlates and predictors of perceived hope among Czech and Maltese populations. We examined the levels of perceived hope, optimism, life satisfaction, positive relations, loneliness, generativity, and spirituality, and investigated whether there are any significant differences related to gender, age, family status, education level, religious beliefs, and engagement in voluntary activities. The sample consisted of 177 Czech and 90 Maltese respondents aged between 18 to 79 years. In both samples, the most important significant predictor of perceived hope was dispositional optimism. In the Czech sample, higher perceived hope was also predicted by higher generativity and lower loneliness, while in the Maltese sample an important role was played by spirituality, which was found to be the second independent predictor of perceived hope. An analysis of the effect of demographic factors showed some culture-specific differences.
