Storm Clouds in the Mind: Hope and Grit in Alternative School Students

Více o knize

The book explores a three-year study comparing hope, grit, happiness, and life satisfaction between traditional and alternative high school students. It highlights C. R. Snyder's research on hope, illustrating how high hope students envision a "rainbow" that empowers them to pursue their dreams despite obstacles. In contrast, alternative school students often experience low hope, depicted as "storm clouds" that hinder their perseverance and ability to tackle daily challenges. The findings quantitatively document the impact of hope on student resilience and life outcomes.
