Abstract
The present study was aimed at examining the predictive relationship of hope and optimism with Subjective wellbeing (Life Satisfaction). The participants comprised of 150 married women. Satisfaction with Life Scale was used to measure Life Satisfaction. Hope and Optimism were measured by using items from Psychological Capital Questionnaire. Data were analyzed through regression. Results revealed that both hope (ß=.806, p=000) and optimism (ß=.407, p=000) predict life satisfaction in a significant manner. Thus, positive psychological resources like hope and optimism are indeed essential for enhancing one’s life satisfaction. These attributes must be endorsed by psychologists, counselors, teachers, and parents in order to develop a positive and hopeful outlook on life.
