Hatim Ben Ayad — 2024-01-29

Hope and self-esteem are crucial components of positive psychology, and there is a lack of tools to assess these concepts in Morocco. Therefore, this study aims to provide the necessary instruments for evaluating hope and self-esteem among Moroccan college students. A total of 1150 college students (444 males, 703 females) completed an updated Arabic version of the Trait Hope Scale (THS) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The data underwent factorial and reliability analyses, with test-retest reliability assessed using responses from 26 students. Both the THS and RSES revealed a two-factor solution, and Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA) demonstrated measurement invariance with respect to gender. Furthermore, the results indicated good and acceptable internal consistency (α = .85 for THS and α = .70 for RSES) and acceptable temporal stability (r = .72 for THS and r = .76 for RSES). In conclusion, the updated Arabic versions of the THS and RSES exhibited strong psychometric properties and stability. They have been established as valid and reliable tools for assessing hope and self-esteem among Moroccan college students.

There has been a lack of research in the area of positive psychology variables in the Yemeni context. For this reason, the current research aims to examine the effect of optimism, happiness, self-esteem, on quality of life among Yemeni university students. It also seeks to test whether self-esteem mediates the relationship between optimism and quality of life. 657 Yemeni university students participated in this study. Positive personality index with three-dimensional (optimism, happiness and quality of life) and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used. The results revealed a positive correlation between optimism, happiness, self-esteem and quality of life. Quality of life was predicted from happiness, optimism, and self-esteem. The results revealed that self-esteem partially mediates the relationship between optimism and quality of life. Also, results showed differences in happiness, self-esteem, and quality of life due to gender. However, the results did not reveal any differences on study variables due to social status or income level.
