Abstract:
The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) is an instrument for assessing cognitive thoughts among suicidal persons. Previous studies have identified different factor structures of the BHS. However, results were not conclusive. The aim of this study was to test the factor structure of the BHS in a sample of Italian individuals (N = 509) from the community, and secondarily to investigate correlations between the BHS, depression (Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition), and personality traits (Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire). Following recommendations of previous investigations, we utilized a 5-point response format. We applied a second-order Confirmatory Factor Analyses and tested for the model invariance. The results suggest that besides a single second-order factor, a second-order three-factor solution is also reasonable, in line with Beck’s theorization.

Abstract. The aim of the present study was to examine the construct and cross-cultural validity of the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS; Beck, Weissman, Lester, & Trexler, 1974 ). Beck et al. applied exploratory Principal Components Analysis and argued that the scale measured three specific components (affective, motivational, and cognitive). Subsequent studies identified one, two, three, or more factors, highlighting a lack of clarity regarding the scale’s construct validity. In a large clinical sample, we tested the original three-factor model and explored alternative models using both confirmatory and exploratory factor analytical techniques appropriate for analyzing binary data. In doing so, we investigated whether method variance needs to be taken into account in understanding the structure of the BHS. Our findings supported a bifactor model that explicitly included method effects. We concluded that the BHS measures a single underlying construct of hopelessness, and that an incorporation of method effects consolidates previous findings where positively and negatively worded items loaded on separate factors. Our study further contributes to establishing the cross-cultural validity of this instrument by showing that BHS scores differentiate between depressed, anxious, and nonclinical groups in a Hungarian population.

Abstract:
Objective: Understanding the construct of hopelessness in the context of a life-threatening or terminal illness is a complex and challenging undertaking. The objective of this study was to examine the construct of hopelessness in patients with advanced AIDS by examining the structure of the Beck Hopelessness Scale in this specific population.Methods: For the past three decades, the primary measure used to study hopelessness in a variety of populations has been the Beck Hopelessness Scale. Several factor analytic studies have been published using this scale, with studies of nonclinical samples typically describing a two-factor model (optimism and pessimism), whereas clinical samples have consistently generated a third factor (lack of motivation to make changes). We used confirmatory factor analysis to analyze two data sets in patients with AIDS.Results: Confirmatory factor analysis of the Beck Hopelessness Scale in two samples of patients with far advanced AIDS revealed a clear superiority for a three-factor model.Significance of results: The Beck Hopelessness Scale has unique characteristics when applied to a terminally ill population. The implications of these results for studies of terminal illness are discussed.

Abstract:
This research was conducted to examine the correlation between depression and hopelessness levels in mothers of disabled children between the ages 5 and 7. A total of 126 mothers of children with disabilities was used in the study. They were obtained from the nursery schools of the First Education Schools of the Ministry of Education or from private schools. In this study the Beck Depression Scale (Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961), Beck Hopelessness Scale (Beck, Lester, & Trexler, 1974) and a General Information Form (Ceylan & Aral, 2005) were used for statistical analyses. The findings suggested a significant correlation between the depression and hopelessness levels of mothers of disabled children (p < .01).

Abstract:
A confirmatory factor analysis of the Beck Hopelessness Scale in a sample of 340 Italian students did not support the 3-factor model reported for previous samples of psychiatric patients. A follow-up principal axis factor analysis yielded two interpretable correlated factors, suggesting that the structure of the scale may differ across clinical and nonclinical groups and as a function of nationality.

The aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting loneliness and hopelessness among university students in Turkey. Data were collected with the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Russell, Peplau, & Cutrona, 1980), the Beck Hopelessness Inventory (Beck, Weissman, Lester, & Trexler, 1971), and a questionnaire developed by the researcher. One hundred and ninety-six people took part in the study. Results showed that the male participants suffered from loneliness and hopelessness more frequently. They liked the university environment, but the limited number of friends and parental attitudes contributed considerably to hopelessness. In addition, there was a strong correlation between the severity of loneliness and the severity of hopelessness.

Abstract:
This study examined the correlations between the Stanford Time Perspective Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Beck Hopelessness Scale for an in-patient substance-abuse population of 50. Analysis did not support the hypothesis that substance abusers would be more likely to be present-hedonistic and present-fatalistic rather than past- or future-oriented. However, the results modestly supported the hypothesis that future orientation would be negatively correlated with scores on depression and hopelessness measures. In this sample, there was a slight tendency toward the time orientations of future- and present-fatalistic. Correlations among scores on the three measures were generally low (range = .06 to −.38).

Abstract:
The Beck Hopelessness Scale was applied in a sample of 971 male and female students, chosen at random sampling from Mexico City, with an average age of 16.75 years. Results were compared to those reported by Beck, Weissman, Lester and Trexler (1974). Results showed adequate reliability (≥ 0.70) in the total sample by gender. Factorial structure matched only in the Affective factor as reported by Beck et al. (1974) with respect to the total sample. Differences in saturation and factorial structure in both sexes were observed. It was concluded that the factor structure of Beck Hopelessness Scale registers different factor structure in the total sample, according to sex.

Abstract:
Many risk factors have been put forward to account for the significant increase in adolescent male suicide over the last 20 years, and the pronounced sex difference in suicide statistics. In particular, hopelessness has been shown to be a strong indicator of suicidality. This study investigated the relationship of gender role, stress, and coping to hopelessness in a normal adolescent population. It was hypothesized that stress, coping and a masculine gender role would contribute to hopelessness. 288 adolescent students between the ages of 15 and 18 were surveyed using the Adolescent Stress Scale, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, the Australian Sex Role Scale, and the Adolescent Coping Scale. Contrary to expectation, having a masculine gender role was not related to hopelessness; students with an undifferentiated gender role had higher levels of hopelessness than androgynous, masculine, and feminine students. However, the majority of students who had an undifferentiated gender role were male. Hopelessness was also associated with high levels of stress and the use of avoidance coping strategies. The results are discussed within the transactional stress model and the stress-diathesis model.

Abstract:
The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) is a 20-item true/false questionnaire designed to measure a respondent's negative expectancies about the future. The construct of hopelessness has been found to correlate strongly with suicidal and parasuicidal behavior, and the BHS i s frequently used in the assessment of suicide risk. The primary purpose of the current study was to explore the impact on the internal consistency reliability and convergent validity of the BHS, when the scale's item response format was altered from its published true/false format to a system of scoring each item on a 6-point Likert scale. The sample investigated was drawn from an adult non-clinical population. Results indicated that there was no significant difference in the magnitude of the internal consistency reliability coefficients obtained with each of the two response formats tested. Results also indicated that, when considering the total sample, there was no significant difference in the magnitude of correlations found between the true/false versus the 6-point Likert scored BHS and the convergent measures investigated in the study. However, two levels of sex differences were found: within each BHS type tested (true/false and 6-point Likert) higher magnitude correlations were found between BHS scores and all of the other measures investigated for female participants than for male participants (although the differences failed to reach statistical significance) in the true/false BHS condition, and higher magnitude correlations were found for male participants than for female participants (two of the differences were significant at the .05 level) in the 6-point Likert condition. Additionally, within each sex, male participants obtained higher correlations (non-significantly) in the 6-point Likert compared to the true/false BHS condition with all measures investigated, while female participants in the true/false BHS group obtained higher correlations with all of the measures investigated (one of the differences was significant at the .05 level) relative to female participants in the 6-point Likert group. A number of interpretations and implications of the findings are discussed.

Enquadramento: A depressão e desesperança têm sido consideradas os principais fatores de risco na predição da ideação suicida. Contudo não existe um consenso sobre qual desses fatores de risco é o mais importante na predição da ideação suicida, isto porque há autores que consideram a desesperança como sendo o fator central e outros que afirmam ser a depressão a causa principal; a desesperança desempenha o papel mediador entre a depressão e a ideação suicida. É de realçar que recentemente não foi feita nenhuma revisão da literatura que aborde os resultados dos estudos efetuados até então. Objetivo: efetuar uma revisão sistemática dos estudos sobre a relação entre a depressão, desesperança e a ideação suicida. Método: A pesquisa foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados (PsycInfo, PsycArticles, Psycbooks; PEP Archive, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection e Academic Search Complete), com as palavras-chave: Suicide Ideation, Depression, Hopellessnes. Recorreu-se também ao Google académico. Resultados: foram encontrados 20 estudos que dizem respeito à relação entre ideação suicida, depressão e desesperança Conclusões: pode-se afirmar que a relação entre depressão, desesperança e ideação suicida é evidente, e um corpo substantivo de pesquisa verifica essa relação afirmando que estes são fatores psicológicos fundamentais na ideação suicida.
Framework: Depression and hopelessness have been considered the main risk factors in the prediction of suicidal ideation. However, there is no consensus as to which of these risk factors is the most important predictor of suicidal ideation, because there are authors who consider hopelessness to be the central factor and others who say that depression is the main cause; hopelessness plays the mediating role between depression and suicidal ideation. It is noteworthy that recently no literature review has been done to address the results of the studies conducted so far. Objective: to carry out a systematic review of studies on the relationship between depression, hopelessness and suicidal ideation. Method: The research was carried out in the following databases (PsycInfo, PsycArticles, Psycbooks; PEP Archive, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection e Academic Search Complete), with the key words: Suicide Ideation, Depression, Hopellessnes. We also resorted to academic Google. Results: We found 20 studies regarding the relation between suicidal ideation, depression and hopelessness Conclusions: it can be said that the relationship between depression, hopelessness and suicidal ideation is evident, and a substantive body of research verifies this relationship by stating that these are fundamental psychological factors in suicidal ideation.

Abstract:
Mental health in workplaces is a global concern today, and Bangladesh is not an exception to that. It is a big concern in journalism as good journalism depends on healthy journalists and news organizations. Most of the scholarships on the topic have been done from the perspective of western and developed countries. Little is known about it from the context of developing countries like Bangladesh. As such, the present study aimed at assessing mental health and well-being of professional journalists in Bangladesh. Data were collected through a survey using a semi-structured questionnaire from 191 Dhaka-based journalists reached with the aid of snowball sampling method. Psychometric instruments such as improvised depression scale, the perceived stress scale, Beck hopelessness scale (BHS), and satisfaction with life scale were used to collect data. The results show that most of the journalists perceive their job as highly stressful, suffer from depression up to some extent, are extremely dissatisfied with their life, and severely hopeless about their life and future.
