Abstract

The purpose of this research was to develop and evaluate psychometrically an abbreviated instrument to assess hope in adults in clinical settings The Herth Hope Index (HHI), a 12‐item adapted version of the Herth Hope Scale (HHS), was tested with a convenience sample of 172 ill adults Alpha coefficient was 0 97 with a 2‐week test‐retest reliability of 0 91 Criterion‐related validity was established by correlating the HHI with the parent HHS (r = 0 92), the Existential Well‐Being Scale (r = 0 84) and the Nowotny Hope Scale (r = 0 81) Divergent validity with the Hopelessness Scale was established (r= ‐ 0 73) Construct validity was supported through the factorial isolation of three factors (a) temporality and future, (b) positive readiness and expectancy, (c) interconnectedness These three factors accounted for 41% of the total variance in the measure

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
