Studying the three folds of hope in Schnider's theory and comparing it with Quran's point of view on it Zahra Mohaghgheghiyan

Abstract

In the modern civilized world, although man seems to be richer than before, but more than the past he is depressed, frustrated and lonely.Positivist Psychologists believe that hope can protect people against stressful events in the life. Hence in the last two decades, they have seriously studied the role of hope in the treatment of various diseases which has leaded to the development of the theory of hope by Schnieder. On the other hand, due to the effect of every individual's worldview in his improvement and treatment from various diseases, the role of religion in the emergence of hope could not be ignored. This study ,first of all, aims to explain various dimensions of hope (goal thinking, pathway thinking, agency thinking) in Schnider's theory, , and then examining them in the Quran as to discover the degree of correspondence and sharing of meaning between human efforts and views of the Quran . Finally this article is to reveal how Quran, according to its values, leads people to appropriate hopes and dissuades them from false ones . This research indicates that science essentially deals with expressions of beings and beings; this approach to hope is very beneficial for mankind. On the other hand, examining hope by evaluating it, as is done in religions, will guide humans to the ideal type of hope.
