Considerable research suggests that “pathways” thinking (i.e., the perceived ability to generate multiple, plausible routes to achieve a goal-congruent outcome) enhances hope by affecting perceptions of possibility (Curry et al. 1997; Snyder 2000). When multiple pathways are identified, the attainment of the goal-congruent outcome is still regarded as possible, should any one pathway be blocked. For example, in a personal selling context, salespeople stimulate consumers’ pathways thinking by showing multiple ways to achievement associated with product use. For example, such is the case when a salesperson at a gym demonstrates the many machines and classes that can facilitate fitness and points out the location of affiliated clubs near home, work, and travel destinations.
