After Erikson's (1963, 1964) conceptualization, a new theory of basic hope is proposed. Basic hope is considered a fundamental constituent of an individual's world view, mostly unconscious and learned very early. It consists of the belief in two characteristics of the world: its higher order and sense and its general positivity towards a human being. Basic Hope Inventory (BHI) was developed to measure the strength of basic hope. The first data indicates that basic hope correlates positively with adaptive reactions to personal loss and with constructive long-term consequences of it and that these correlations are independent from the impact of optimism and hope for success (Snyder, 1994). Basic hope seems to predict positive effects in psychotherapy, it correlates positively with well-being and negatively with anxiety, depression and psychosomatic symptoms.

The main objective of the study was to observe how two personality factors: the strength of the basic hope, and the level of self-esteem, as well as a character of social bonds between the partners, relate to the characteristics of experiencing gratefulness. 80 participants were asked to recollect memories of events, where other person helped them or presented another positive behavior toward them. Then they have described their experience of gratefulness, and the context of it, by filling a questionnaire prepared for this study. Different kinds of social relationships have to be taken into account when answering the questionnaire. The have also filled a questionnaires measuring the strength of basic hope and the level of self-esteem. The results indicate that the strength of basic hope correlates positively with the quality of gratefulness and with variety of situations in which this feeling is evoked. The feeling of the gratefulness is more intense within a community-like relationships (e.g. between friends or romantic partners) than in exchange-based relationships (e.g. between colleagues or incidental partners). There is no data supporting hypothesis about the self-esteem level as a factor in gratefulness experience. These results, taken together with data from other recent studies, suggest that the strength of basic hope (a belief in two characteristics of the world - its higher sense and positivity toward human beings, see: Erikson, 1963), plays an important role in social interactions and in building the social bonds.
