Hopes and fears are highly characterizing the future orientations of people, groups and societies and they are part of their well-being. Hopes and fears are not only part of individual and collective well-being they are also guiding behaviour and development of societies. Under the same conditions hopeful individuals and hopeful societies are better off than fearful ones. But fears should not always be considered from a critical point of view; they can also contribute to avoiding future problems. Hopes and fears of nations are here regarded in a worldwide view and the changes over time are of special interest. One main goal of this paper is to bring the future expectations back into the discussion in the field of the quality of life research.(original abstract)

Nadzieje i obawy charakteryzują orientację na przyszłość ludzi, grup i społeczeństw oraz stanowią część ich dobrostanu. Nadzieje i obawy są nie tylko częścią indywidualnego i zbiorowego dobrostanu, ale także kierują zachowaniem i rozwojem społeczeństw. W tych samych warunkach optymistyczne osoby i społeczeństwa radzą sobie lepiej niż te pełne obaw. Jednak obawy nie powinny być traktowane wyłącznie krytycznie, mogą się one przyczynić do uniknięcia przyszłych problemów. Nadzieje i obawy narodów rozważane są w niniejszej pracy w ujęciu światowym, ze szczególnym naciskiem na zmiany zachodzące w czasie. Jednym z głównych celów pracy jest przywrócenie oczekiwań na przyszłość do dyskusji nad zagadnieniami jakości życia.(abstrakt oryginalny)
