Psychometric analysis described of the Herth Hope Index, integrated by 10 Likert type items with four alternatives. The scale was applied to 210 men and women, from 16 to 42 years of age of a private university of Lima. The item – test correlation analysis found highly significant associations (p< .001) for each of the reagents, indicating that the reagents evaluate indicators of the same construct. The Hope Index presents high internal consistency ( = .851). Construct validity was established by factor analysis, where, using the principal components analysis and orthogonal rotation (Varimax), two identified factors were extracted: 1. Optimism / Support and 2. Agency.
