    The first volume addressing hope as an existential need and resource for living a good life Presents data collected by the Hope-Barometer Survey in different countries Provides interventions to improve hope and increase overall well-being This volume addresses the convincing belief that hope is an existential need and resource for living a good life, not only when all is going well, but especially in difficult times. The findings reported in this volume result from the annual survey of the Hope-Barometer Research Program collected during 7 years and conducted in several countries. Structured in three parts, the first one provides the reader with a general introduction into the topic of hope, the theoretical and methodological foundations and major general results of the Hope-Barometer. Part two presents specific topics related to the levels and variations of hope across different population groups, and the relationship of hope with several measures of well-being. Further part three focuses on comparisons of elements and levels of hope across cultures discussing methods and techniques to improve hope and thus increase overall well-being.

    In this chapter, the theoretical foundations and the practical context as well as the objectives and the methodology of the Hope-Barometer research program will be described. Against the background of various theories and definitions of hope and taking into account the negative cultural bias in many countries focusing mainly on the worries and fears of the population about the future, the Hope-Barometer has three main objectives: (1) to encourage and support a public discourse on hope in the participating countries, (2) to empirically explore hope as perceived by individuals and groups in different contexts and cultures, and (3) to contribute to the understanding of the theoretical concept of hope. For these reasons, a working definition of hope based on theoretical considerations and empirical findings will be proposed and the development of new methods to measure the general level as well as specific domains of hope (e.g. hope targets, hope experiences, hope activities, etc.) will be presented
