“…A recent meta-analysis (Renshaw & Olinger Steeves, 2016) suggested that gratitude is positively correlated to life satisfaction and negatively correlated to distress. Gratitude can be intentionally practiced, and some studies reported that engaging in gratitude activities lead to enhanced SWB in adolescents (Froh, Sefick, & Emmons, 2008; Khanna & Singh, 2016). Although Renshaw and Olinger Steeves (2016) cautioned against the over-enthusiastic implementation of gratitude interventions among youth, it remains an important factor in adolescent well-being.…”

“…Adolescents make up one sixth of the global population, with an estimated 1.2 billion adolescents in 2016, and this number is expected to rise through 2050, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (Khanna & Singh, 2016; World Health Organization [WHO], 2018a). The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the adolescent as an individual between the ages of 10 and 19 years old (WHO, 2018a).…”

Although there is a vast literature on the concept of well‐being, there appears to be no consensus regarding its meaning. A clear conceptualization of adolescent well‐being is necessary as the foundation for interventions and research addressing this phenomenon. Adolescence is a transitional period characterized by rapid growth, gaining independence, and learning social skills as well as behaviours that lay the foundations for future well‐being. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to analyse the concept of adolescent well‐being and identify its attributes, antecedents, and empirical referents based on the literature. The Walker and Avant (2019) method was used. Ninety‐four articles were included in the final review. The defining attributes of adolescent well‐being were identified as autonomy, connectedness, optimism and competency. The antecedents were grouped under internal and external factors. Internal factors included the behavioural, physical, psychological, and spiritual domains. External factors included the environmental, economic, education, leisure, social, and safety as well as security domains. For the adolescent to reach well‐being, all these domains must be present, albeit, the social domain was highly stressed. The consequences of adolescent well‐being included eudaimonia, having high resilience as well as low risk‐taking behaviours and delinquency. Empirical referents were discussed in terms of ways of measuring the defining attributes. Stemming from the eudaimonic perspective, to promote adolescent well‐being, care providers need to integrate in education, practice, and research the importance of establishing positive relations and connectedness, to enhance adolescent autonomy and optimism and assist them to grow into competent and self‐fulfilled beings.

“…Nonetheless, many studies reviewed previously in this paper (e.g., Emmons & McCullough, 2003;Froh et al, 2008;Isik & Ergüner-Tekinalp, 2017) offer favorable evidence for gratitude journaling among students. Another gratitude intervention curriculum (Froh et al, 2014) that emphasized the socio-cognitive components of gratitude in addition to journaling was successful in enhancing well-being among Indian adolescents (Khanna & Singh, 2016). This encourages greater focus on nature of activities used, a point addressed in the section on future recommendations ahead in this paper.…”

Stress and allied difficulties are pervasive among school students in present times. This concern is further magnified in the Indian context with the large represention of young people in the population and limited resources to match. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of a classroom based stress management training and gratitude journaling intervention (Flinchbaugh et al., 2012) among Indian adolescents. The intervention curriculum was adapted to suit the study context. A total of 238 students (57% males) from Grades 7-9 participated in this study. Participants were recruited from two schools, and their age ranged from 11 to 14 years. In each participating school, students were randomised at the classroom level into three intervention groups (Stress Management Training, Gratitude Journaling, combination of both), and one control group. Using a pre-testpost-test design, intervention impact on measures of well-being, life satisfaction, perceived stress, meaning, and engagement in the classroom was evaluated. Results suggested limited effectiveness of stress management training and gratitude journaling among participants in the present context. Plausible explanations for these findings are discussed. The study emphasizes the need for customised interventions to obtain optimal outcomes among diverse populations.
