These observations are very consistent with Charles Snyder's theory of hope. I hope that there are both cognitive and emotional elements. According to Snyder, 1) there are three elements related to hope: 1) goal-oriented thinking, 2) strategy development to achieve the goal, 3) activities to actively achieve the goal. Individual beliefs in the ability to implement these components determine the likelihood that they will produce a sense of hope.
In danger, young people may think that any bad behavior that happens with them is just beyond their control. A peer - based program helps young people at risk to develop strategies to help them set up personal goals for the future and help them achieve them. Access to a safe environment, practical opportunities, positive role models, positive and constructive feedback and encouragement all help to foster essential personal identity to achieve the goal. This "view of agent" is also an element of social cognitive theory.
By involving dangerous young people in the activities and circumstances they would not normally experience, the plan can help change the belief that dangerous young people are likely to do what they are doing. Thus, the peer-based program may promote hope and optimistic emotions among dangerous young people.

Definition of intervention School-based programs that reduce drunk driving include educational programs, classmates such as students who oppose destructive decision making (SADD), and social normative movements. This educational program is committed to further focusing on drunk driving (DD) and drunk driving alone (RDD) problems, or the use of alcohol and other substances. Peer-to-peer organizations allow students to participate in various DD and RDD prevention activities. Social normative activities were designed to reduce alcohol use by providing objective normative information about student drinking consumption to students to reduce misunderstandings and ultimately change their behavior
