Abstract: Hope is a vital psychological resource and a positive motivational state that shapes how individuals perceive their lives and enables people to set meaningful goals, find pathways to achieve them, and sustain the motivation to overcome obstacles. Subjective well-being (SWB), is the evaluation of happiness and life satisfaction by the people and it plays a central role in psychological health which includes effect of positive and negative emotional components, as well as cognitive evaluations of life satisfaction. So, the study was conducted to see the correlation between Hope and Subjective Well-Being among adults, with a focus on gender-based differences. Data were collected from 124 adult participants using standardized self-report instruments. The findings support the theoretical framework that positions hope as a critical psychological strength contributing to emotional and cognitive dimensions of well-being. Implications for future research and interventions aimed at enhancing hope to improve mental health outcomes are discussed.
