Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between hope (agency and pathways thinking), grit, and subjective well-being (life satisfaction and positive and negative emotions) among South African first-year university students (n = 210; mean age = 20.35 years, SD = 1.49 years; female = 55.71%). Data were collected using the Adult Hope Scale (AHS), Grit Scale (GS), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SwLS), and the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE). Regression analyses indicated hope predicted higher grit, satisfaction with life, and positive emotions. Female students reported significantly higher agency and negativity scores, whereas males reported scores on the pathways dimension. Hope is essential in student development and support programmes and may buffer students experiencing academic-related challenges.

南非大学一年级学生的希望及其与毅力和主观幸福感的关系

本研究调查了南非一年级大学生的希望(能动性和路径思维)、毅力和主观幸福感(生活满意度和积极和消极情绪)之间的关系(n = 210;平均年龄20.35岁，SD = 1.49岁;女性= 55.71%)。采用成人希望量表(AHS)、勇气量表(GS)、生活满意度量表(SwLS)和积极与消极体验量表(SPANE)收集数据。回归分析表明，希望预示着更高的毅力、对生活的满意度和积极的情绪。女生报告的能动性和消极性得分显著高于男生报告的路径维度得分。希望在学生发展和支持计划中是必不可少的，可以缓冲学生遇到的与学业相关的挑战。
