- Abstract
The aim of the current study was to investigate the predicting roles of personal belief in a just world and gender in university students' hope levels in specific life domains (i.e., social relationships, romantic relationships, family life, academics, work life, and leisure activities). The participants were 168 university students from a major state university in Turkey. Data was collected with the Domain Specific Hope Scale, the Personal Belief in a Just World Scale, and a personal information sheet. Results of Multivariate Regression Analysis showed that both personal belief in a just world and gender were significant predictors of domain specific hope levels of university students. More specifically, personal belief in a just world was found to significantly predict university students' hope levels in academics, family life and leisure activities. In addition, female students were found to have higher hope levels in social relationships. Taken together, the findings highlighted the importance of studies on domain specific hope levels. Current findings were discussed within the context of the hope and just-world literature and gender roles in Turkey.
