| Abstract: | This study examined the relationships between hope and the emotional reactions of bereaved Chinese people in Hong Kong. Three groups—a clinical bereaved sample (n = 140), a general bereaved sample (n = 152), and a non-bereaved comparison sample (n = 144)—were included. Significant differences in 3 hope measures, hope (pathway), hope (agency) and hope (total), were found between the 3 groups. Moderately strong correlations were found between hope measures and emotional reactions. A mediating effect for hope (agency), but not for hope (pathway) and hope (total), was found in the relationship between bereavement. Possibilities for working with Chinese bereaved people and implications for research and training were discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
