This study tested a theoretical model of hope mediating the relationship between differentiation of self and social justice commitment among graduate students ( N = 202) in the helping professions. The theory was based primarily on the social justice philosophies of Martin Luther King Jr., Cornel West, and Paulo Freire using a cultural psychology approach. Results generally supported the theoretical model. Implications are considered for both training and future research on social justice.
