▼ Gratitude is a positive, higher order affect with significant links to well-being. Research has shown that an attitude of gratitude increases well-being and life-satisfaction and is a protective factor against mental health problems. However, little is known about how trait gratitude is developed or what mechanisms are involved in the link between gratitude and well-being. While there are a number of extant theories of gratitude they tend to be limited in scope, are not well tested, and lack an empirical support base. This thesis proposes that attachment theory can address some of the current theoretical limitations in the field and provide a framework for studying gratitude. A critical overview of the gratitude and attachment literature is presented as well as an analysis of how attachment processes may relate to gratitude. A research program with five studies (N = 837) is presented across four empirical chapters. These test the viability of an attachment theory framework for gratitude and examined the hypothesis that attachment security facilitates gratitude arousal and relates to trait gratitude. A cross-sectional study found that individual differences in attachment functioning significantly predicted state and trait gratitude, providing evidence for the validity of attachment as framework for the study of gratitude. Two experimental studies used affective subliminal priming methodology to explore the relationship between normative attachment function and gratitude at the cognitive processing level of experience. Together these studies provide tentative evidence that attachment security and gratitude are found within the same cognitive information network and that individual differences in attachment avoidance and anxiety inhibit information processing of gratitude information. Two more studies examined the link between attachment security and gratitude using supraliminal affective priming at the affective level of experience. The first of these studies provided evidence showing that attachment security leads to more reports of gratitude than positive affect, attachment insecurity, and neutral condition. The second study replicated the results of the first in an independent sample. Implications of the findings for both theory and clinical applications are discussed in detail. Overall, the research presented provides evidence supportive of an attachment theory of gratitude, contributes novel information regarding gratitude in the context of attachment processes, and sets a foundation for future research inquiries regarding a theory of gratitude through the attachment framework.

▼ This thesis includes a literature review that summarises the types of psychological research that have been conducted into gratitude, including the research conceptualising and developing assessments around it and exploring its associations with wellbeing, personality, social interaction, and health. The review focuses specifically on the research examining the relationship of gratitude to anxiety, depression and sleep, providing an outline of current theories about the relationship of positive affect to wellbeing, and a summary of the evidence to date. It is noted that there is comparatively little research on the impact of gratitude on anxiety and sleep but promising findings about the role of gratitude in the treatment of depression. Taken together, it is argued, the current research supported the need for trials of gratitude interventions specifically with clinical populations. Finally, the review looks at the literature of experimental interventions using gratitude. Particular emphasis is given to what has been learnt through these trials that might guide the focus and design of future research. There follows the report of a randomized wait-list controlled pre-post trial of a gratitude diary intended to extend the research into the efficacy of gratitude diaries in the treatment of clinical populations with depression, anxiety and sleep difficulties. It was hypothesised that after completing a brief gratitude diary for three weeks, participants would have lower scores on measures of depression, anxiety, and perceived sleep difficulties, and higher scores on a measure of life satisfaction. These results were also expected to be evident at three-week follow-up. In a randomised waitlist-controlled trial with repeated measures pre-, post- and follow-up design, participants (N=109, from Australia) aged 18-64 years with a current self-reported diagnosis of an anxiety disorder and/or depression, took part in a self-help study via the internet. After completing the diary participants had lower scores on measures of depression, anxiety and perceived sleep difficulties and higher scores on a measure of subjective wellbeing than immediately pre-intervention. In addition, they had improved scores on a measure of stress. At three-week follow-up scores on depression and perceived sleep difficulties were no longer significantly different from pre-intervention, however improvements for subjective wellbeing and stress at post-intervention were maintained. At follow-up scores for anxiety had not only been maintained but had improved significantly beyond post-intervention results. This trial provides support for the use of gratitude diaries as a short-term intervention with a clinical population. Different patterns of anxiety and depression scores raise the possibility that gratitude interventions work differently to address depression and anxiety symptoms and provide support for the idea that gratitude interventions may have sustainable effects on anxiety symptoms.

▼ My dissertation builds theory about gratitude at work. Drawing from Affective Events Theory, I suggest two different forms of gratitude: state gratitude and job gratitude. State gratitude refers to grateful moods or emotions which tend to last short term, whereas job gratitude refers to employees’ grateful attitudes particularly toward their jobs that tend to last longer. Empirically, I conducted three related studies. In the first study, I developed and validated the 7-item measure of job gratitude using a series of surveys that confirmed a satisfactory content and construct validity of the measure. Using an experience sampling procedure, in the second study I suggested and tested a theoretical model of state gratitude at work. A series of longitudinal surveys with 135 employees showed that state gratitude that is captured by a 3 week long daily survey is positively associated with in-role behaviors through the desire to reciprocate benevolence. My analyses also showed that the availability of extrinsic job rewards negatively moderates the positive impact of state gratitude on helping behaviors through the desire to reciprocate benevolence. Employees’ job dependency also negatively moderates the positive impact of state gratitude on both helping and in-role behaviors through the desire to reciprocate benevolence. The third study proposed and tested a theoretical model of job gratitude. My analyses showed that through the mechanism of intended help, job gratitude is positively associated with extra-role behaviors including helping behaviors, organizational citizenship behaviors directed to an organization, and voice behaviors. Taken together, my dissertation enriches theories in emotion literature by exploring a particular type of discrete, social, and moral emotions. My dissertation also contributes to gratitude literature outside of organizational studies, as it broadens the scope of impacts of gratitude in work contexts. Lastly, this dissertation contributes to Organizational Positive Scholarship by shedding light on the experiences of the recipients’ of prosocial behaviors. Advisors/Committee Members: Jean M. Bartunek (Thesis advisor), Myeong-Gu Seo (Thesis advisor).

▼ Despite being well-documented in the literature that gratitude is positively associated with personal well-being, little is known about the psychological mechanisms involved. In addition, little is known about how to promote adolescents’ gratitude in school-based interventions. The purpose of the present project was twofold. First, to identify the possible psychological mechanisms that may explain the positive links between gratitude and well-being among adolescents. Second, to develop a school-based intervention program for adolescents and examine its effectiveness on their gratitude and well-being. To address the above aims, a correlational study (Study 1) and an experimental study (Study 2) were included in the present research project. Study 1 was a survey that explored how gratitude is associated with general health, compassion and forgiveness among adolescents. Study 2 was an intervention study that examined the effectiveness of a gratitude program on adolescents’ well-being. Both studies aimed to examine whether social connectedness and broadmindedness (which was indicated by broad attention and broad perspective) were mediators that many explain the links between gratitude and its associated psychological benefits of general health, compassion, and forgiveness. In Study 1, the participants were 176 Chinese ninth graders from a secondary school. The results indicated that gratitude was positively related to social connectedness, general health, compassion, and forgiveness. Mediation analyses showed that social connectedness was a significant mediator between gratitude and adolescents’ well-being, which included general health, compassion, and forgiveness. However, broad attention was not a mediator in the association. In Study 2, a school-based gratitude intervention program was designed to help adolescents to develop a positive attitude towards themselves, to be grateful to their family members, to members of the school, to people in the community, and to nature. The participants were 169 eighth and ninth graders from two secondary schools. They were assigned into either the gratitude condition with a five-session program on gratitude or the control condition with a five-session program on study skills. Pretest and posttest data were gathered to evaluate the effects of the gratitude program on students. The posttest data showed that participants in the gratitude condition (n = 81) reported a higher level of gratitude, social connectedness, broad perspective, general health, and compassion than their counterparts (n = 88) in the control condition. Nevertheless, paired sample t tests showed a significant increase only in gratitude, broad perspective, and general health in the experimental group. The results of mediation analyses indicated that both the changes in social connectedness and broad perspective explained the effects of gratitude intervention on general health. However, only the change in social connectedness explained the effects of gratitude intervention on compassion and forgiveness. The results…

Gratitude is a ubiquitous emotional experience. A simple “thank you” could just be a casual gesture of politeness; yet, religions, philosophers, and psychologists have long proposed that heart-felt experiences of gratefulness is the key to well-being. This dissertation examined the mediating mechanisms of the effects of gratitude on subjective well-being. I proposed a resources-coping model, which postulates that gratitude fosters subjective well-being through first enhancing perceptions of coping resources, which in turn facilitating the adoption of adaptive coping strategies. I tested this model in three studies. Study 1 found that, compared to the control condition, participants experienced more favorable perceptions of social and personal coping resources, higher efficacy to positive reframe stressful events, and greater subjective well-being upon recalling grateful events. The effect of condition on subjective well-being was mediated by enhanced feelings of coping resources and positive reframing efficacy. Building on this finding, Studies 2 and 3 applied the structural equation modeling approach to examine the inter-relationships among gratitude, social and personal coping resources, adaptive coping strategies, and subjective well-being among individuals facing specific stressors. Study 2 revealed that gratitude was associated with the receipt and satisfaction with social support, as well as adaptive coping strategies, including positive reframing, humor, acceptance, religious coping, and social support seeking, among a group of familial dementia caregivers. Study 3, which was conducted among a group of adults who had recently experienced a work-related stressor, largely replicated the findings of Study 2 and found that gratitude was associated with both favorable perceptions of coping resources as well as enhanced deployment of adaptive coping strategies. The results of the structural equation models demonstrate that coping resources mediated the effect of gratitude on life and work satisfaction, perceived life and work stress, and depressive symptoms. Findings of these three studies generally support the resources-coping model. Implications on future studies on gratitude and the coping process, as well as the application of gratitude-related findings to psychotherapy are discussed.

▼ Although gratitude has been termed the second most frequently experienced positive emotion (Fredrickson 2009), marketing research has only recently started to explore the role of gratitude in customer relationships. As a result, many deficiencies exist in the literature, including the distinction between this emotion and indebtedness. Further and related to this issue, little is known about gratitude’s conceptualization, antecedents and consequences. This dissertation was conducted to address these deficiencies and extend knowledge concerning customer felt gratitude and indebtedness. Essay one was conducted to offer in-depth insight to the conceptualizations of customer felt gratitude and indebtedness. A hermeneutical interpretive approach was used to interpret the data. The results revealed themes pertinent to understanding the unique conceptualizations, antecedents and consequences of gratitude and indebtedness. Gratitude and indebtedness were found to differ across four dimensions, including affect, behavior, cognition and duration. Different antecedents and consequences also emerged for these two emotions, as well. Essay two was conducted to develop comprehensive measures of gratitude and indebtedness and to use these measures to identify the causes of each construct. The results revealed that gratitude is a multidimensional construct consisting of affect, behavior and cognitive dimensions. Indebtedness is also a multidimensional construct consisting of affect, behavior and cognitive dimensions, but also includes a duration dimension. Moreover, four studies led to the creation of a fifteen item measure of gratitude and a nineteen item measure of indebtedness. In addition, different antecedents of gratitude and indebtedness were identified. Essay three was conducted to further our understanding of the consequences of gratitude and indebtedness and to position these concepts into a nomological model of relationship marketing through applying the threat to self-esteem theory. The results indicated that gratitude and indebtedness have different effects on customer loyalty, positive word-of-mouth and preferential treatment. This research offers theoretical contributions by demonstrating the difference between gratitude and indebtedness, offering comprehensive scales of each emotion and applying the threat to self-esteem theory to marketing constructs. This research offers managers an understanding of the employee behaviors that generate these emotions and demonstrates how customer gratitude produces positive and indebtedness produces negative effects on valuable outcomes.

▼ When we are the beneficiaries of good human conduct, we experience a concert of positive emotions ranging from relief to elation. These emotions can in turn motivate us to expend great sums of energy to reward those near the source of the good conduct, creating, quite literally, a virtuous cycle. If this cycle has a fuel or catalyst, it goes by the name of gratitude. I approach gratitude using an interdisciplinary method. I use modern brain imaging combined with a powerful resource: testimony from survivors of the Holocaust, housed in the Shoah Foundation Institute’s Visual History Archive at the University of Southern California. By using this resource, my research can shape our understanding of gratitude, offering an investigation of the cognitive and physiological routes gratitude can take. ❧ To reach this end, I compiled a set of stimuli that probe the experience of gratitude in the context of gift-giving. The stimuli set is comprised of situations derived from the Shoah Foundation Institute’s Visual History Archive, housed at U.S.C. The archive is comprised of over 50,000 videotaped testimonials from survivors of the Holocaust. I spent hundreds of hours watching and listening to the archives, out of which I selected a collection of stories, or scenarios, in which the survivor receives a gift. In my experiments, participants read these scenarios and they were asked to imagine the perspective of the survivor and feel as close to how they would feel if they were in the same situation. While they imagined themselves in the midst of these scenarios, I measured their cognitive, physiological, and brain responses. ❧ This dissertation is comprised of three separate experiments. The first, a behavioral experiment was used to identify the necessary and sufficient criteria for the generation of gratitude. I found that the felt need for a gift better predicted gratitude that the perceived effort for a gift. The second measured heart rate changes during the experience gratitude. Higher levels of gratitude were associated with overall lower patterns of heart rate response, indicating an influence on gratitude from the parasympathetic nervous system. The third measured brain activity during the experience of gratitude. Gratitude ratings correlated with regions of the brain associated with social cognition, reward and self-processing. ❧ If there is an emotion capable of promoting good human conduct and respect between people, that emotion is gratitude. Gratitude arms us against despair and discrimination, fortifies us against trauma, and impels us to help our neighbors. The account of good human conduct created in my dissertation unfolds a story told by the body, revealing volumes about the necessary and sufficient conditions for the flowering of human goodness at the level of the person and at the level of society.

▼ This study proposed that levels of dispositional gratitude influence experiences of intimacy within romantic relationships and that this influence is moderated by relationship attachment. Gratitude, in this study, was described as feelings of appreciation associated with the perception that one had been the focus of another’s intentionally beneficial actions. A greater disposition toward gratitude was expected to result in more frequent experiences of gratitude. It was also anticipated that experiences of gratitude would be associated with feelings of closeness toward the one responsible for the beneficial act. Participants (n=156) ranged in age from 18 – 70 and, although required to be currently in a relationship of at least six months’ duration, each was studied as an individual. Participants included both males and females, in same-sex or other-sex relationships, and completed a series of questionnaires assessing dispositional gratitude, attachment and emotional intimacy. Moderation analysis was conducted using hierarchical regression and revealed that although a positive, weak correlation exists between gratitude and intimacy, attachment did not moderate that association. However, the measures used did not elicit sufficiently divergent responses. Thus neither complete exploration of the proposed association between gratitude and intimacy, nor of the moderation of that association by attachment were possible. In conclusion, further investigation of experiences of gratitude, particularly in relation to enhancing feelings of closeness, is necessary to understand the function of gratitude in romantic relationships. Methods focusing on specific experiences of gratitude in romantic relationships and the associated feelings of closeness experienced by each partner may yield more conclusive findings. In addition, such findings may provide support for therapeutic approaches focused on enhancing closeness between couples by increasing experiences of gratitude.

▼ Dominant research in affect and decision making has considered positive emotions to be relatively undifferentiated. However, emerging research suggests that different, discrete positive emotions (e.g., happiness, pride, gratitude, hope, contentment) varying in their appraisals and themes might lead to differential influences on judgment and decision making. Given this progression in the literature, it is important to build a more nuanced understanding of the effects of discrete positive emotions. This thesis thus, aims to contribute to the emerging literature on discrete positive emotions by examining the effects of gratitude and pride gratitude across a variety of contexts. While both emotions are positive, they differ on the appraisal dimension of self-responsibility. That is, individuals who feel grateful (vs. pride) are less (vs. more) likely to perceive themselves as the focal responsible agent of a positive outcome. This in turn, can lead to unique downstream effects. Across three important, yet distinct domains, we examine the conditions under which gratitude and pride can lead to similar or divergent influences on consumer behaviour. The first essay finds that while gratitude (vs. pride) differentially increases the effectiveness of other-focused appeals, gratitude and pride are similarly effective in promoting self-focused appeals. The second essay tests and finds distinct gratitude and pride effects on the acceptance of consumer unethical behaviour, especially when a firm has a negative reputation. The final essay demonstrates that gratitude is more effective than pride in motivating responsible alcohol consumption. Taken together, these essays test various theoretically grounded moderators and mediators of emotion effects and provide a more holistic understanding of positive emotions, in general and of gratitude and pride effects, in particular. Moreover, our findings suggest important implications for marketers, policy makers as well as consumers, in order to both, better understand distinct influences of various positive emotions and devise more effective strategies to improve consumer welfare.

A Thesis submitted in a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Psychology-Experimental

Research has consistently shown that individuals who take the time to focus on things for which they are grateful are likely to have increased well-being. However, individuals who have been diagnosed with a chronic health condition, such as Parkinson's disease, may not be as likely to experience gratitude. Although prior research has demonstrated the relationship between a grateful outlook and well-being, prior research has not examined the relationship between a grateful outlook and subjective health appraisals, namely health-related quality of life. Two studies were developed to evaluate the effects of trait gratitude, and experimentally induced state gratitude on health-related quality of life in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The first study examined the relationship between trait gratitude and health-related quality of life in Parkinson's disease. Prior to analysis, the health-related quality of life variables on the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 were reduced to three component variables: Social, Psychological, and Physical. The three component variables served as the dependent variables, and trait gratitude served as the independent variable in the analyses. The results of a simple linear regression showed that higher levels of trait gratitude were associated with lower levels of social distress in individuals with PD (p = 0.02). However, the results of another simple linear regression showed that higher levels of trait gratitude were not associated with lower levels of psychological distress. Finally, the results of a simple linear regression analysis showed that higher levels of trait gratitude were not associated with lower levels of physical distress. The second study examined the effects of conscious gratitude practice on health-related quality of life, positive affect, and negative affect in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Participants in this study were randomly assigned to either the gratitude condition or the positive thinking condition, and were then asked to think for one to two minutes per day, for seven days, about things in life they were grateful for or positive things in general. The results showed no difference from baseline to follow-up for health-related quality of life, positive affect, or negative affect for either condition. Although no differences were found, future research should continue to examine the effect of gratitude on health-related quality of life in individuals with Parkinson's disease. A longer study duration is recommended for future research.

▼ Expressing gratitude has a significant function in societal interaction. As Eisenstein and Bodman (1993) suggested, only when the function of gratitude is expressed appropriately can it âengender feelings of warmth and solidarity among interlocutorsâ (p.167). However, compared with other widely discussed speech acts such as apology and request, the speech act of expressions of gratitude seldom drew researchersâ attention. The present study hence focuses on investigating EFL (English as foreign language) learnersâ behavior in realizing expressions of gratitude on the basis of cross-cultural comparison of NS-Cs (Native speakers of Chinese) and NS-Es (Native speakers of English) in terms of perception and production performances. Data used for analysis cover 60 NS-E, 60 NS-C, and 60 EFL speakersâ data elicited from Discourse-Completion-Task (DCT) questionnaire which consisted of 24 scenarios in which four contextual factors, comprising social distance, social status, gender of interlocutor and severity of the situation were embedded. Scale-Response questionnaire (SRQ) was designed to obtain two cultural groupsâ perception in terms of degree of imposition, degree of gratefulness, and likelihood of the expectation of benefactors. The EFL group was further categorized into two groups on the basis of proficiency level. Among each group, the number of male and female participants was even. The result of SRQ shows that both cultural groups generated the same tendency, that is, the greater imposition the informant felt s/he caused to the benefactor, the more grateful s/he felt and the more likely s/he thought the benefactor would expect receiving expressions of gratitude. NS-Esâ perceptions on the likelihood of gratitude expectation and degree of imposition were significantly higher than NS-C groupâs. In terms of the contextual factors, NS-C participants were found to be more sensitive to relative social status while NS-E participants were more sensitive to relative social distance. The analysis of DCT data shows that NS-Cs and NS-Es generated similar strategies in gratitude-provoking situations and NS-E group generated greater amount of strategy use. Both groups generated more strategies and lengthier utterances in situations bearing greater imposition. EFL groups were found to generate similar strategy uses as the two cultural groups did. Accordingly, the occurrence of negative sociopragmatic transfer was rare while negative pragmalinguistic transfer was more observable. Some linguistic properties of transfer reflected the cultural orientation. Instead of pragmatic performance, proficiency level seemed to be influential in linguistic accuracy, amount of strategy use and length of utterances. The limitation of the study suggests future study conduct on natural utterances, oral DCT, introspective interview with the informants and further discussion on role-play data to get a more comprehensive understanding of the behavior of expressions of gratitude realized by NS-Cs, NS-Es and EFL learners.

▼ Research suggests that positive emotions play an important role in mental and physical health outcomes including combating the effects of stress. Research has also shown that positive emotions decrease autonomic nervous system reactivity and build personal resources, initiating an "upward spiral" of well-being (Frederickson, 2003). Two methods discussed in the literature to increase positive emotions are relaxation (e.g., progressive muscle relaxation; PMR) and gratitude interventions. Both are associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes including increased positive outcomes (e.g., quality of life, relaxation, sense of control, happiness) and decreased negative outcomes (e.g., depression, anxiety, health complaints). However, research on both PMR and gratitude interventions is limited in certain respects. Research on PMR focuses primarily on negative physical and mental health outcomes, whereas gratitude research relies heavily on correlational data. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of relaxation and gratitude interventions on physical and mental health outcomes, including reactions to stress. Using a controlled three group experimental, prospective design, 247 college students were randomly assigned to one of three groups (PMR, gratitude, control) for one week. At the end of the intervention, subjects participated in a stress-inducing activity. Baseline, pre-stress induction, post-stress induction and one-month follow up assessments were obtained. Both positive (i.e., life satisfaction, serenity, relaxation, positive affect, perceived control), negative (i.e., depression, anxiety, stress) and health indicators (i.e., physical symptoms) were measured. Results indicated that PMR is an effective intervention: At post-intervention, those in the PMR condition reported significantly more perceived control and serenity than both the gratitude and control groups. Those in the PMR group also had significantly lower negative affect than the control group. Group differences in stress and physical health symptom ratings, although marginally significant, revealed results again in favor of PMR. At follow up (30 days later) the PMR group maintained significantly lowered negative affect than the control group. There were no effects of the gratitude intervention on any outcomes nor were there group differences in stress reactivity. The role of positive psychology interventions in buffering stress and improving mental health functioning is discussed.

peer-reviewed

In recent years there has been an unprecedented, widespread endorsement and application of interventions designed to foster gratitude. However, rigorous experimental research into the efficacy of gratitude interventions is only in its formative stages and much work is needed to determine not only if they are effective, but also how and when they are effective. Additionally, despite the inherently social nature of gratitude and robust evidence that social relationships are a key determinant of wellbeing, no research has utilized social or interpersonal gratitude as a strategy for improving wellbeing. This thesis, therefore, examines whether interpersonal gratitude interventions improve how people perceive their relationships with others and their overall wellbeing, and if so, how and when. Three research articles are presented in this thesis detailing the results of three robust, longitudinal randomised controlled trials. The key findings that emerged were, firstly, that shifting the focus of gratitude towards others leads to enhanced psychosocial wellbeing, compared to self-focused gratitude and neutral control activities. Secondly, these findings uniquely contribute to theoretical understandings of how gratitude interventions work by offering novel mechanistic evidence in support of both the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and the find-remind-bind theory of gratitude. Gratitude appears to promote the maintenance and development of existing social relationships and friendships, which in turn improves markers of wellbeing. Thirdly, this thesis informs and updates the Positive Activity Model by examining intervention features (self vs. other oriented, behavioural vs. reflective) and person features (pre-existing levels of social support and depression) that would likely influence intervention efficacy. This thesis extends current knowledge and adds to a growing body of work emphasising the social and psychological benefits of being grateful, and the potential of gratitude interventions to foster positive mental health and wellbeing.
