Purpose: The purpose of this research is to design a pattern for identifying and classifying the components of social hope among Iranian youth by summarizing the research conducted in the field of social hope with a meta-synthesis approach.Method: For this purpose, the studies conducted in the field of hope between 1390 and 1400 have been examined. Based on this, 15 out of 22 articles were selected as the statistical population for analysis. Met-synthesis is the summation of qualitative studies for providing a deeper understanding of the subjectFindings: The findings showed that 6 categories with 40 concepts are effective in creating social hope. These categories and concepts include social factors(social trust, social participation, social norms, social alienation, social anomie, social prestige, social networks, social power, social security, social justice, social acceptance, and social vitality), family factors(family income, parental education, and family support), economic factors(inflation, economic capital, economic alienation, economic anomy, and economic poverty), political factors(political stability, sanctions, political economy, and political security), demographic factors(education, gender, age, number children, and physical health), and individual-psychological factors(religious beliefs, self-efficacy, hedonism, purposefulness, responsibility, desire to progress, hard work, economic and social base, psychological security, and professional identity). According to research findings, among these factors, social and individual-psychological factors are more decisive.Results: The research results show that more success in personal and private life; access to resources, opportunities and power; as well as higher experiences makes people more ready for social change and strengthens the hope for the future among communities.
