Hope and Optimism
~ Hope is a passive emotion unrelated to the likeliness of the outcome. (winning the lottery)
~ Hope is based on the anticipation of positive future developments.
~ Optimism is confidence in attainment of the goal (getting into graduate school) through a belief that the person will find a path to achieve the desired goal and will be motivated to walk this path.
~ How could you be optimistic about winning the lottery?
~ You are hopeful before a job interview and optimistic after it.
~ The more control people perceive they have the more optimistic (and hopeful) they can be, because the outcome is now attainable
Optimism
~ To any challenge, an optimist reacts with faith in reaching desirable results and continually taking part in the activity even if the process is long and difficult
~ An optimistic explanatory style can be characterized by the attribution of external, unstable and specific causes to failures and negative events
~ People using an optimistic strategy do not think too much about possible risks and imagine themselves in a situation where they are coping successfully.
Hope and Optimism
~ Hope and optimism consists of three basic components –
~ Goals
~ Will/determination/motivation
~ Pathways to the goals
Hope and Optimism
~ When you are negative and hopeless you tend to notice the things that are not going the way you want*
~ When you are positive, you seize on the good things. (pan for gold)
~ If optimism is hope combined with perceived control and ability to achieve goals then….
~ Positive expectations can help people become more optimistic.
~ Note: This only works for things people have some degree of control over.

~ What is it that I want (my goal)?
~ What parts of this can I control?
~ What resources and capabilities do I have that I can use?
~ How have I, o
