Abstract

Hope is one of the cornerstones of positive psychology. Different psychologists have given various differing definitions of hope and have developed measures to quantify hope. However, the concept still has a lot of unexplored dimensions. Different cultures have different interpretations of hope and different ways of enhancing it. The current paper is one such attempt to develop a separate scale to measure hope, different from the existing ones to make it more culture sensitive.
