Assessment
name: Persevering Hope Scale (PHS)
Scale
overview: Sandra Yu Rueger
and her colleagues developed the Persevering Hope Scale (PHS) to assess
peoples’ motivation to persevere in situations where the achievement of goals
seems unlikely or even impossible.
They drew upon knowledge from theological, empirical, and clinical
experience to develop the four-item self-report measure.
Authors: Sandra Yu Rueger and her colleagues
Response
Type: Respondents see a stem,
“When an outcome I desire seems unlikely or even impossible…” then rate each
variation on the perseverance theme on a scale of frequency from (1 = not at
all to 5 = very).
Scale
items
There are
four items, which refer to a person’s willingness to keep trying and not give
up when pursuing a desired outcome. See the article appendix for the list of
items.
Psychometric
properties
Rueger et al. (2023) conducted their research among adults in the US. A
little more than half reported a religious affiliation. The authors provide
evidence for internal consistency, test-retest reliability, factor structure,
and initial support for convergent and discriminant validity. The PHS was
moderately correlated with the total and two subscales of the Adult Hope Scale
mentioned above. Significant associations were also evident between the PHS and
measures of optimism grit, conscientiousness, positive religious coping and
psychological health.
Availability: See the appendix in Rueger et al. (2023) for
the set of items and the rating scale.
