摘要
A path model examining the influence of hope on appraisals, coping, and dysphoria was assessed in a sample of 341 college students. Results indicated that hope had a significant influence on secondary appraisal and coping. Moreover, in contrast to Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) view that appraisals and coping are sufficient predictors of adjustment, hope also was found to be an important predictor of dysphoria independent of the influences of appraisals and coping. These findings are taken to provide support for Snyder's (1994) hope theory in predicting psychological adjustment.
