Happiness and hope in the consciousness of the young generation – analysis of perception and experience

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the opinions of pedagogy students about hope, symbols of happiness and personal values. It includes a theoretical part that describes the characteristics of the generation of people born after 1995 and outlines the concepts of hope and happiness. The empirical part describes the results of surveys diagnosing the level of basic hope and the symbols and values identified by young people with full and lasting satisfaction with life. The study used the BHI-12 Basic Hope Questionnaire and the Personal Values List. The results allow us to conclude that the level of basic hope among the respondents remains at a good level. This makes it easier for them to find a way to respond to stress and trauma, shapes the speed and constructiveness of adaptation to a new social environment, and gives a greater chance for the effectiveness of educational and possible therapeutic interactions. Respondents indicate symbols of happiness and create a list of values whose achievement predicts life satisfaction.
