We are beyond thrilled to share that an article written by our BABLab P.I. Patty Van Cappellen, PhD, and Postdoctoral Researcher Megan E. Edwards, has been featured on the International Society for the Study of Existential Psychology (ISSEP) website (read the article here!)

The article is titled “Where There is Hope There is Meaning” and expands on the idea that hope is a meaning-making emotion with great existential significance, as it helps us to persevere or take action during times in which we are suffering.

To demonstrate this, Megan and Patty highlight the history of the study of hope and highlight findings from both qualitative and quantitative studies of hope.

Congratulations, Megan and Patty, on this achievement!
