| Description | The feelings of uncertainty and threats surrounding recent socio-political events have caused widespread psychological distress, often leading to anxiety and depression. However, amidst these difficult times, Czech people have shown incredible resilience and a remarkable capacity for hope and personal growth. Our research shows that hope is an essential pillar of mental health: people who do not lose hope are less anxious, have higher psychological well-being, and show higher levels of posttraumatic growth. |
