Thesis (Ph.D.)--Washington State University, 2004.

In this study, I suggested that the emergent field of positive psychology, as a new science of human strengths and virtues, expand its scope of the good life to be mindful of what constitutes the meaning of the good life in different cultures. The focus of the study was Snyder's (2000) hope theory which was tested in an individualistic (U.S.) and collectivistic (Mexico) culture. A more interdependent-collectivistic or group-centered conception of the hope construct was also considered and tested. Through a series of cross-cultural tests, I investigated hypotheses about cultural differences and predictive relationships involving self-construals, two kinds of hope (individualistic and interdependent-collectivist), and subjective well-being.

520 $a In this study, I suggested that the emergent field of positive psychology, as a new science of human strengths and virtues, expand its scope of the good life to be mindful of what constitutes the meaning of the good life in different cultures. The focus of the study was Snyder's (2000) hope theory which was tested in an individualistic (U.S.) and collectivistic (Mexico) culture. A more interdependent-collectivistic or group-centered conception of the hope construct was also considered and tested. Through a series of cross-cultural tests, I investigated hypotheses about cultural differences and predictive relationships involving self-construals, two kinds of hope (individualistic and interdependent-collectivist), and subjective well-being.
520 $a Two hundred thirty-two Mexicans and 185 European American volunteers completed packets, which included the Hope Scale, an Interdependent-Collectivist version of Hope (I-C Hope), the SCS, and SWLS.
520 $a The study succeeded in extending the empirical scope of positive psychology into the context of cross-cultural research. Findings were mixed. Snyder's (2000) two-factor model of agency and pathways was replicated in the U.S. but failed to replicate in Mexico. In a cross-cultural context, however, the single factor hope construct demonstrated structural equivalence. An interdependent-collectivistic hope dimension with commensurate agency and pathways subfactors was not found. However, two factors that were similar across cultures emerged and were interpreted as family and community hope. As hypothesized, independent self-construal was found to be a better predictor of individualistic hope than was the interdependent self-construal factor in both cultures. Interdependent self-construal, as compared to independent self-construal, was found to be a better predictor of family hope and community hope in both cultures. Individualistic hope was more strongly tied to subjective well-being in both cultures. Family hope was also moderately tied to subjective well-being in both cultures, whereas community hope was not. Contrary to cross-cultural hypotheses, interdependent self-construal, and interdependent-collectivistic hope (family and community hope) were higher for the U.S. sample, whereas independent self-construal was higher for the Mexican sample. Limitations of the study and the use of only quantitative methods was discussed. Consideration of transconceptual frameworks that integrate and further extend cultural and positive psychology values was advocated.
