The present study aimed at exploring gender differences with reference to
dispositional and state hopes. Furthermore the stability of hope irrespective of
rewarding and frustrating situation was explored, in which stability of hope,
through correlation between dispositional and state hope, in male and female
participants separately was also explored. Study was conducted in two
sessions. In the first session participants were requested to fill the
Dispositional Hope Scale1
. Second session was held after a gap of one day
where participants were randomly divided in two groups; reward and
frustration. They were given an anagram task of jumble words to be solved
with researcher’s comment on their performance that act as a source of
inducement of feeling of reward and frustration, followed by State Hope Scale2
.
No significant gender difference was found in dispositional and state hope.
However, with respect to stability of hope significant positive correlation
between dispositional and state hope was found in total sample including male
and female participants. Whereas, stability of hope on the basis of gender,
there was a significant positive correlation between dispositional and state
hope among males of both reward and frustration group, indicating stability of
hope in males irrespective of situation, while there was insignificant
correlation in females; positive in reward and negative in frustration indicating
the decrease in level of hope in case of facing frustrating situation. Probable
reasons for the findings are discussed.
