Abstract
The present study aims to examine the mediating role of hope in relation to the developmental assets of family, school and others with psychological well-being of the students. Students of the state high schools in Hamadan consisted of the statistical population; the sample group was 410 people (222 girls and 188 boys) that were selected by multistage cluster sampling and responded to developmental assets, hope and psychological well-being scales. The path analysis results suggested that the family and school were directly related to the hope and the hope and family were directly related to the psychological well-being. The family and school with the mediator of hope influence positively and indirectly on psychological well-being; however, the effect of others was not significant on hope and psychological well-being. The results of comparison model in two groups of girls and boys showed that proposed model was not significantly. It can be said according to the findings that the hope has a mediator role in the relationship between family and school developmental assets with psychological well-being.
