التنبؤ بالسعادة في ضوء الأمل و التفاؤل لدى عينة من طلبة جامعة القدس المفتوحة

Abstract EN

The study aimed at identifying the relationship among happiness, hope and optimism.

In addition, the study aimed at specifying the proportional significance for each of these variables in interpreting happiness among a sample of Al -Quds Open University students.

The sample size consisted of (187) students, (103) males and (84) females.

The study tools were implemented on the study sample in the courses lectures.

The results showed that happiness is connected with the other variables and the correlation coefficient values were positive, statistically significant and in the expected direction.

The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that both hope and optimism variables contributed in interpreting the variance in the sample member’s points on happiness measure.

Optimism variable contributed heavily in interpreting the variance in the sample member’s points on happiness measure.

Optimism variable interpreted about (%45.2), (%43.2) and (%45) of the total sample, male sample and female sample respectively while hope variable interpreted about (%7.1), (%4) and (%12.2) of the total sample, male sample and female sample respectively.
