The present study extended the research on hope (Snyder, 2002) and depression by assessing the impact of domain specific hope on depressive symptoms using a completely cross‐lagged longitudinal design across 2‐week and 5‐week time intervals while controlling for depressive personality. Results from an undergraduate sample ( n = 363) indicated that across a 2‐week time interval, hope in the social/peer and academic domains, depressive personality and depressive symptoms had reciprocal causal influences on each other, whereas across a 5‐week time interval, only hope in the family domain had a significant one‐way influence on depressive symptoms. The implications for working with young adults are discussed and suggestions made for future research relating to the personality‐based prediction of depressive symptoms.
