A prospective study was conducted to examine whether hope would buffer the damaging effects of a hostile workplace climate among a sample of 65 lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals. Participants completed initial measures of life satisfaction, hope, and optimism. One month later, participants again completed the life satisfaction measure, along with a workplace climate questionnaire. After controlling for optimism, hope emerged as a main effect in accounting for changes in life satisfaction. In addition, the interaction between hope and workplace climate was significant. Hope played a critical role in maintaining life satisfaction among individuals who faced a hostile, discriminatory workplace.
