...Research has shown that hopelessness is a robust risk factor for suicide among clinical samples (Beck et al. 1985, 2006) and for suicidal ideation among non-clinical samples (Kliem et al. 2018)....

...For instance, hopelessness is negatively associated with life satisfaction (Kliem et al. 2018), is a negative predictor of quality of life among older adults (Scogin et al. 2016), and is a negative predictor of resilience towards stressful events (Hjemdal et al. 2012)....
