The Study of Hapiness, Hope and Optimism in Women

Happiness, hope and optimism are behavioral factors that have an important role in public health. Given the important role of women in society, these categories were studied in this study. Method: A total of 200 women (20 to 35 years) were selected by sampling. Statistical tests used in this study are t-test and ANOVA, and correlation. Results: after analyzing the data, it was found that the subjects considered are significantly hopeful. However, the results showed that the samples are not happy. Also, in studying the correlation between the three variables of happiness, hope and optimism, it was found that there is a positive correlation between happiness and hope; but the correlation between happiness and optimism and the correlation between optimism and hope is not significant and optimism does not correlate with any of the other variables. Also in examining these three variables according to education level, the results indicated that only in the case of happiness variable, there was no significant difference at different levels of education, and in the case of the other two variables, there is no significant difference according to education level. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between individuals’ optimism and happiness; this means that having increased happiness, people become more hopeful and having decreased happiness, optimism is reduced and vice versa. So, to increase the amount of happiness among people, their hopes need to be increased. Increasing spirituality can be effective in this way. The results also showed that the education impact on happiness and generally the higher the level of education, the lower amount of happiness. Also, a significant correlation between marital status (married women, single and divorced) was not found.
