This Brief integrates the literature and research on other-oriented
hope. It discusses the position of other-oriented hope as one
manifestation of the broader attribute of other-interest and argues
the importance of other-interest in well-being. The Brief examines
definitions and attributes of other-oriented hope, based upon
theoretical and empirical understandings of hope more generally.
Thereafter it reviews both qualitative and quantitative research
findings concerning the occurrence of other-oriented hope in
several domains, including other-oriented hope among parents of ill
children, other-oriented hope among caregivers and other-oriented
hope among the elderly. Several theoretical frameworks for
understanding the phenomenon of other-oriented hope are considered,
as are the functions of and elements comprising, other-oriented
hope. The differentiation of other-oriented hope and related
concepts, such as compassion and love, is considered. Finally, the
brief examines the application of other-oriented hope to practical
work in counselling and caregiving and outlines several directions
for future work on other-oriented hope.
