[00:00.00]Read third time [00:05.46]Psychologists are finding that hope plays a surprisingly vital role [00:10.49]in giving people a measurable advantage in rounds as diverse as academic achievement, [00:16.97]bearing up in tough jobs, and coping with tragic illness. [00:22.03]And, by contrast, the loss of hope, is turning out to be a stronger sign that a person may commit suicide [00:30.50]than other factors long thought to be more likely risks. [00:35.06]'Hope has proven a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we've done so far,'said Doctor Charles R. Snyder, [00:44.35]a psychologist, who has devised a scale to assess how much hope a person has. [00:50.95]For example, in research with 3920 college students, [00:57.10]Doctor Snyder and his colleagues found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first semester [01:05.00]was a more accurate predictor of their college grades, than were their SAT scores or their grade point averages in high school, [01:14.90]the two measures most commonly used to predict college performance. [01:19.67]'Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them.' Doctor Snyder said.

[01:37.26]In devising a way to assess hope scientifically, Doctor Snyder went beyond the simple notion [01:44.55]that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. [01:49.11]'That notion is not concrete enough and it blurs two key components of hope,' Doctor Snyder said, [01:56.02]'Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be.'
