Abstract Mental well-being encompasses positive psychological, emotional, and social functioning, whereas hope signifies the belief in achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. It is shaped by various biological, psychological, and social factors. In the present study, the relationship between hope and mental well-being was examined across age, gender, family type, and residential background among children and adolescents. A total of 152 participants from different schools in Odisha were selected using convenience sampling method. The World Health Organization (WHO)-5 Well-Being Index and Snyder’s Children’s Hope Scale were administered on the study sample. A weak positive relationship was revealed through correlation analysis between hope and mental well-being (r = 0.20). Significant differences were shown through independent sample t-tests based on residence and gender. Higher levels of hope (t= 5.16) and mental wellbeing(t=2.56) were reported by rural students . Higher scores in mental well- being were obtained by male students (t= -3.01). No significant differences were found with respect to family type and age. The results imply that contextual and demographic factors are significant in determining hope and mental health across developmental phases.
