SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIF...

This Brief integrates the literature and research on other-oriented hope. It discusses the
position of other-oriented hope as one manifestation of the broader attribute of other-interest
and argues the importance of other-interest in well-being. The Brief examines definitions and
attributes of other-oriented hope  based upon theoretical and empirical understandings of hope
more generally. Thereafter it reviews both qualitative and quantitative research findings
concerning the occurrence of other-oriented hope in several domains  including other-oriented
hope among parents of ill children  other-oriented hope among caregivers and other-oriented
hope among the elderly. Several theoretical frameworks for understanding the phenomenon of
other-oriented hope are considered  as are the functions of and elements comprising 
other-oriented hope. The differentiation of other-oriented hope and related concepts  such as
compassion and love  is considered. Finally  the brief examines the application of
other-oriented hope to practical work in counselling and caregiving and outlines several
directions for future work on other-oriented hope.
