hope, in the research literature, is not vague optimism. psychologist c. r. snyder frames it as goal-directed cognition comprising agency (“the will”) and pathways (“the ways”). hopson studies state hope—how hopeful someone is about a specific time frame or event—rather than broad personality-level trait hope. state hope moves; it can be built or eroded by experience and context.
“people who have higher levels of hope are more likely to want to stay and less likely to feel burned out,” hopson explains.
