Two factor solution for normative sample (N = 372)^a and Native American sample (N = 96) for the Children’s Hope Scale

Item no.	Item	Child Hope

		Agency	Pathway
1	I think I am doing pretty well	.71^b (.85)^b	.17 (.09)
2	I can think of many ways to get the things in life that are most important to me	−.03 (.02)	.91^b (.85)^b
3	I am doing just as well as other kids my age	.71^b (.74)^b	.10 (.28)
4	When I have a problem, I can come up with lots of ways to solve it	.67b (.32)	−.02 (.52)^b
5	I think the things I have done in the past will help me in the future	.55^b (.64)^b	.32 (.21)
6	Even when others want to quit, I know that I can find ways to solve the problem	.44 (.41)	.59^b (.65)^b

Numbers in parenthesis are for the normative sample. Agency variance accounted for by the present factor was found to be: 38.2 % (normative sample: 32.5 %). Pathway variance accounted for by the present sample was: 16.2 % (normative sample: 25.9 %)
