The Hope Scale

The document is a scale that measures levels of hope and agency. It contains 12 statements about goals, problem-solving, and outlook that respondents rate on a 8-point scale. The scores for certain items are added up to calculate subscores for agency and pathways, which are then combined for a total hope score. Higher scores indicate higher levels of hope, agency, and ability to generate routes to goals. Scores between 40-48 are considered hopeful, 48-56 moderately hopeful, and 56 or higher as highly hopeful.
