TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Preliminary assessment of Apache hopefulness: Relationships with hopelessness and with collective as well as personal self-esteem JO - American Indian and Alaska Native mental health research A1 - Hammond, Vanessa Lea A1 - Watson, P. J. A1 - O'Leary, Brian J. A1 - Cothran, D. Lisa SP - 42 EP - 51 VL - 16 IS - 3 N2 - Hopelessness is central to prominent mental health problems within American Indian (AI) communities. Apaches living on a reservation in Arizona responded to diverse expressions of hope along with Hopelessness, Personal Self-Esteem, and Collective Self-Esteem scales. An Apache Hopefulness Scale expressed five themes of hope and correlated negatively with Hopelessness and positively with both Collective and Personal Self-Esteem. These data confirmed the potential of conducting more extensive analyses of hope within AI tribal life.
