Abstract
In this study, the authors investigated the psychometric properties of measures of meaning in life and hope among Latina/o students. Participants completed the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (Steger, Frazier, Oishi, & Kaler, ) and Dispositional Hope Scale (Snyder et al., ). A confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate structural validity. For the Meaning in Life Scale, internal consistency was good and acceptable as measured by coefficient alpha and a modest 2‐subscale structure was confirmed. For the Dispositional Hope Scale, internal consistency was good and acceptable as measured by coefficient alpha and a modest 2‐factor structure was confirmed. The authors discuss the importance of these findings as well as implications for counselors and researchers.
