Part One is a narrative literature review of studies that examine hope as a predictor of mental health and well-being in children ages 10-19 between 2006 and 2016. Part Two is a cross-sectional study which examines the predictive validity of hope, future values and social comparison on the mental health and well-being of school children aged 11-17. Part Three is a critical appraisal of the thesis, it reflexively considers the research, as well pays attention to various methodological and conceptual challenges of conducting research in both a young offender and normative school aged samples. date: 2017-09-27 date_type: published oa_status: green full_text_type: other thesis_class: doctoral_open thesis_award: D.Clin.Psy language: eng thesis_view: UCL_Thesis primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1423455 lyricists_name: Parker, Samuel-Eliyahu lyricists_id: SPARA16 actors_name: Parker, Samuel-Eliyahu actors_id: SPARA16 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pages: 112 event_title: University College London institution: UCL (University College London) department: Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology thesis_type: Doctoral editors_name: Butler, S citation: Parker, Samuel-Eliyahu; (2017) Hope, Future Values and Social Comparison as Predictors of Mental Health and Well-Being in Adolescents.
