Sammanfattning	The Values in Action (VIA) Inventory of Strengths, developed by Peterson and Seligman in 2004, is a comprehensive instrument designed to identify and measure 24 core character strengths organized under six virtues. Grounded in ancient philosophy and contemporary psychology, the VIA shifts the focus from deficits and pathology to human strengths and positive potential. It exists in multiple versions (full 240-item VIA-240, brief 96-item VIA-96, and mobile-optimized formats), making it accessible for research, clinical practice, coaching, and organizational development.	The Adult Dispositional Hope Scale, developed by C. Rick Snyder in 1991, is a 12-item measure assessing hope as a cognitive motivational system composed of two independent dimensions: Agency (the motivation and determination to pursue goals) and Pathways (the ability to generate routes to achieve those goals). Grounded in hope theory, the scale operationalizes hope not as wishful thinking but as an actionable psychological state combining goal-directed determination with flexible problem-solving.
