چکیده
Evaluated psychometric features and correlates of the Hopelessness Scale for Children‚ developed by the 1st author and colleagues ‚ among 262 6–13 yr old psychiatric inpatients. Ss also completed or were evaluated on the Child Behavior Checklist‚ the Children's Depression Inventory‚ and the Self-Esteem Inventory. Results indicate that the scale was internally consistent‚ that item–total score correlations and test–retest reliability (over a 6-wk period) were moderate‚ and that individual items discriminated high- and low-hopelessness children. As predicted‚ hopelessness correlated positively with depression and negatively with self-esteem and social behavior. Overall‚ the relation of hopelessness to selected facets of affective and social functioning closely paralleled results obtained with adults. This scale may be useful in investigating antecedents of negative expectations toward the future‚ the developmental course of these expectations‚ and the extent to which they predict subsequent dysfunction (e.g.‚ suicidal behavior) in adolescence and adulthood.
