“…By contrast, people with relatively low gratitude toward all measured targets had a lower level of well-being than most profiles (except for Profile 2: primarily grateful to mother and partner) and less often used active coping and emotional support than members of other profiles; compared to most profiles (again, except for Profile 2), they also used religion less often. These results are consistent with the results of studies showing positive relationships between gratitude and well-being (Nezlek et al 2019;Wood et al 2010), adaptive coping (Lau and Cheng 2017;Wood et al 2007) and religiosity (Emmons and Kneezel 2005;Rosmarin et al 2011). These two profiles accounted for 27.5% of the whole sample.…”

“…Moreover, the study investigated whether people who follow distinct patterns of gratitude toward interpersonal targets differ significantly in terms of well-being and coping strategies. Several experimental and correlational studies have confirmed a positive relationship between gratitude and well-being (McCullough et al 2002;Nezlek et al 2019;Wood et al 2010). As for the relationship between gratitude and coping strategies, the evidence is rather scarce.…”

Scientific interest in trait gratitude has burgeoned in recent years. However, the majority of studies on this subject do not take into account that the level of gratitude may differ depending on the target. The primary aim of this study was to examine the heterogeneity of a sample of 765 young adults with respect to gratitude toward different interpersonal targets. Six targets of gratitude were considered: mother, father, grandparent(s), sibling(s), partner, and friend(s). Using latent profile analysis, five profiles of young adults with similar combinations of gratitude toward different people were identified: (1) primarily grateful to parents (35.4%), (2) primarily grateful to mother and partner (24.1%), (3) highly grateful to all measured targets (17.1%), (4) primarily grateful to partner and friend(s) (13%), and (5) not highly grateful to any measured target (10.4%). Latent profiles differed in terms of gender, well-being and coping strategies. The study suggests that considering different interpersonal targets of gratitude and using the person-oriented approach may considerably deepen the knowledge on trait gratitude and its relationship with other variables.

“…Persentase pengaruhnya sebesar 42,6% dan 57,4% dipengaruhi faktor lain di luar variabel dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian ini didukung oleh penelitian sebelumnya oleh Nezlek, et al (2018) Kebersyukuran merupakan salah satu aspek dari kesejahteraan pada masyarakat Indonesia, dimana rasa syukur mengacu pada reaksi emosional positif terhadap bantuan dari orang lain, bantuan untuk diri sendiri atau untuk apa yang telah dicapai seseorang. Rasa terima kasih berkontribusi pada rasa kepuasan dan merupakan fondasi kunci dari kebahagiaan (Haryanto & Kertamuda, 2016).…”

This study aimed to determine the correlation of stress and well-being with gratitude moderation in early adults in Aceh. The method of this research was carried out using a quantitative approach. This study involved 349 early adults (264 female, 85 male) with age range of 20-40 years (M = 22.20) selected through the nonprobability sampling method with incidental sampling techniques. Individual’s stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale, well-being was measured using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, and gratitude was measured using the Skala Bersyukur Indonesia. Data were analyzed using moderated regression analysis to test the research hypothesis. The results showed that stress had a significant negative relationship to well-being (β1 = -0.788; p < 0.05), then gratitude was able to moderate the relationship of stress and well-being (β3 = 3.257; p < 0.05). This study showed that there was a correlation between stress and well-being with gratitude moderation. It meant that grateful people focus on things that are grateful for every day, so that the impact on low stress levels and can improve individual well-being.

“…According to Fredrickson’s (1998) broaden-and-build theory, people with positive emotions have broad-ranging thoughts and actions, which allow individuals access to resources and may help them to resist negative life choices and decreasing difficulties. In this regard, gratitude is suggested as another protective factor linked to more positive emotions and appraisals against negative experiences and psychological difficulties (e.g., Disabato et al, 2017; Nezlek et al, 2018). However, gratitude has been neglected in bullying research, and, as a result, it is not currently known how some bullied adolescents manage bullying victimization to recover from its impact and stay healthy over time considering their levels of gratitude.…”

Being Bullied at School: Gratitude as Potential Protective Factor for Suicide Risk in Adolescents

et al. 2019

Bullying victimization has been recognized as a risk factor for social, physical, and psychological problems in adolescence. One promising resource that seems to protect adolescents from adversity and traumatic events is gratitude. However, no analysis of the specific role of gratitude in bullying context has been performed as yet. Thus, the aim of this research was to explore the associations between bullying victimization, gratitude and suicide risk (i.e., depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors) and gender-based differences. We also investigated whether levels of gratitude moderated the relationship between victimization and suicide risk for girls and boys. A convenience sample of 1,617 adolescents (50.5% girls; M age = 14.02) participated in this research. Adolescents completed a paper-and-pencil questionnaire about their bullying victimization, gratitude, depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Gratitude was found to be negatively related to victimization and suicide risk. While no gender differences were found in gratitude, it was observed that girls reported higher levels of suicide risk. However, the victimization × gratitude interaction contributed to variance in suicide risk, but only for girls: Those girls who were victims of bullying with high gratitude scores reported lower suicide risk than their counterparts who showed less gratitude. Thus, the findings from this present cross-sectional study suggest that gratitude is related to suicide risk in the context of bullying victimization, especially among adolescent girls. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of our novel contributions to the understanding of gratitude as a protective factor against consequences of bullying victimization are discussed.
