Summary: | The problem discussed in this article concerns the relationship between hope and action
styles in adolescents. An action style is a way in which man perceives and responds to the
outside world, and it may be aimed at securing oneself or interacting with the surroundings.
The main aim of this analysis was to find out if, and to what degree, the level of hope
is connected with action styles. The following hypotheses are proposed: H – 1. There is
a relationship between hope and an action style. H- 2. Persons with different types of hope
are characterised by different styles of action. H – 3. Persons with a high level of hope have
a cooperation -oriented style. H – 4. Persons with a low level of hope are often characterised
by a style aimed at protecting themselves. 149 persons aged 17 – 18 participated in the
study. The following methods were used: the
Basic Hope Inventory (BHI-12) –
compiled
by Trzebiński and M. Zięba, the
Hope for Success Questionnaire (KNS)
– adaptation of
C. R. Snyder’s questionnaire made by M. Łaguna, J. Trzebiński and M. Zięba, as well as
the
Action Styles Questionnaire
by
Z. Uchnast
.
The results obtained have allowed the
researchers to form the opinion that hope helps individuals function better in the world.
The way in which a person perceives the world and their own capabilities translates into
the style of action which they choose. A person who is full of hope seeks self -actualisation
as well as cooperation with others. |
