Abstract

Introduction

The feeling of hope is an important factor in the well-being and mental health of individuals. The 12-item Herth Hope Index (HHI) measures different dimensions of hope and assesses the state of motivation to overcome situations with strong stressful or life threatening factors.

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a French adaptation of the HHI.

Method

Based on a French translation of the HHI made during a translation and counter-translation process (HHI-F), 247 higher education students completed an online survey on their mental health state during the COVID-19 pandemic, which included the HHI-F. A principal factor analysis (PCA) and several confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted to compare the structure of the HHI-F with that of the original scale. Internal consistency and convergent validity were also assessed.

Results

The best model relates to a two-factor solution, corresponding to the Spanish translation of the HHI. Internal consistency was very satisfactory, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .895 and a McDonald's Omega coefficient of .898. Significant correlations were observed between the HHI-F score and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS).

Discussion

The HHI-F showed good psychometric qualities, although its structure does not fully correspond to the original version of the HHI. This scale should thus facilitate research in mental health psychology among French-speaking audiences.

法语版赫斯希望指数评估(HHI-F)的心理测量特性

希望感是个体幸福感和心理健康的重要因素。12项赫思希望指数（HHI）衡量了希望的不同维度，并评估了克服具有强烈压力或生命威胁因素的情况的动机状态。目的本研究的目的是评估法语改编的HHI的心理测量特性。方法基于翻译和反翻译过程（HHI-F）中对HHI的法语翻译，247名高等教育学生完成了一项关于他们在新冠肺炎大流行期间的心理健康状态的在线调查，其中包括HHI-F。进行了主因子分析（PCA）和几个验证性因子分析（CFA），将HHI-F的结构与原始量表的结构进行比较。内部一致性和收敛有效性也进行了评估。结果最佳模型涉及双因素解决方案，对应于HHI的西班牙语翻译。内部一致性非常令人满意，Cronbach的α系数为.895，McDonald的Omega系数为.898。HHI-F评分与抑郁-焦虑-压力量表（DAS-21）、事件影响量表修订版（IES-R）和简要弹性应对量表（BRCS）之间存在显著相关性。讨论HHI-F表现出良好的心理测量质量，尽管其结构与HHI的原始版本不完全一致。因此，这个量表应该有助于法语观众的心理健康心理学研究。

期刊介绍： The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
