Abstract

The present study sought to determine if hope acts as a protective factor for cognitive difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicate that those with low hope report significantly greater cognitive concerns than those with higher hope, suggesting that hope may represent a protective factor for cognitive difficulties during COVID-19.
