Abstract: (1008 Views)
Introduction: Previous studies have developed the concept of social hope; this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the state of social hope among adults in Tehran and the socio-economic factors related to it.
Method: This cross-sectional research was conducted with a sample size of 522 people from the statistical population of adults (over 18 years old) living in Tehran, in 2022. To collect data, a researcher-made social hope questionnaire with three components of hope for the future of society, hope for the social future, and a sense of belonging to society was used. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and analytical statistical tests such as independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, correlation, and multivariate linear regression, with the aim of investigating the status of social hope in adults in Tehran.
Findings: The mean of social hope among adults in Tehran is at an average to low level. The lowest average of social hope dimensions was obtained in the hope for the future of society. Also, the results of multivariate linear regression of the relationship between social hope and its related factors showed that participants who had more family members, volunteered, and were more satisfied with life also had a higher level of social hope. In total, the regression model has explained 20% of the changes in the variance of social hope.
Discussion: Given that participation in social activities plays an important role in increasing social hope, it is suggested that policymakers increase the level of social hope of citizens by providing opportunities for cohesion and participation in diverse and voluntary activities.
