Tile study looked into relationships between Transactional Analysis' concept of convictions and life positions with C.R. Snyder's concept of hope. Participants were undergraduate and graduate psychology students of Ateneo de Manila University gathered through convenience sampling. They answered the Life Position Scale (Boholst, 2002) and the Hope Scale (Snyder, et al., 1991 ). Results showed that the relationship was significant and strong between willpower and the convictions one has for oneself. There was a significant but weak relationship between way power and the convictions we have for others. The regression model further affirms that it is the convictions one has for oneself (I Convictions) that can really predicts one's mental energy to pursue one's goal and the pathways to be able to conquer the blocks that one will encounter.
