“…Consistent with previous studies, forgiveness and gratitude were related to happiness in adolescents (Maltby et al, 2005;0.82 Rana et al, 2014;Witvliet et al, 2018;You et al, 2018). This association may be explained by the influence of forgiveness and gratitude in maintaining positive relationships, which contributes to gaining social support (Hobfoll, 1989;Fredickson, 1998;You et al, 2018). Similar to other studies (Karremans et al, 2005;Meier and Stutzer, 2008;Gini et al, 2011;Seider et al, 2013;Light et al, 2015;Sulemana, 2016;Shiraki and Igarashi, 2018;Bono et al, 2019), these results showed a positive relation between both moral self-schemes and prosocial bystander behavior.…”

“…Finally, results indicated that the relationships between these variables were not moderated by gender or adolescence stage (early vs. middle).

The relationships among character strengths (forgiveness and gratitude), happiness, and prosocial bystander behavior in bullying were analyzed. The sample includes 500 (early adolescents) and 500 (middle adolescents) of both genders, between 12 and 18 years old (M age = 14.70, SD = 1.58). Two structural equation models were calculated. Results of the first model indicated that forgiveness, gratitude, and happiness had a direct positive relation with prosocial bystander behavior. Furthermore, human strengths were indirectly related to prosocial behavior in bullying for this effect in happiness. The second model showed that prosocial bystander behavior had a positive effect on human strengths and happiness. Multigroup analyses indicated that gender and stage of adolescence did not moderate the relations found in the model. Overall findings suggest a reciprocal relationship between character strengths, happiness, and prosocial bystander behavior.

“…The group of cyberbullying victims with a low prevalence of bullying and higher gratitude exhibited lower life satisfaction than victims with a low prevalence of bullying and low gratitude. This a priori result is unexpected because the experience of gratitude is usually strongly related to life satisfaction in adolescence [ 48 , 49 ]. Nevertheless, the results fir the conditional effect also indicate that when people suffer a high prevalence of cyberbullying, their life satisfaction only be slightly decreased due to gratitude, as opposed to victims who experience a high prevalence of cyberbullying and low gratitude, who suffer a sharp decrease in life satisfaction.…”

“…Gratitude has also been shown to have a strong relationship with another important indicator for subjective well-being in adolescence: school satisfaction [ 48 , 49 ]. In a study conducted by Froh, Yukewicz and Kashdan [ 50 ], gratitude was observed to present a robust relationship with school satisfaction.…”

The OPREVENT2 obesity prevention trial was a multilevel multicomponent (MLMC) intervention implemented in rural Native American communities in the Midwest and Southwest U.S. Intervention components were delivered through local food stores, worksites, schools, community action coalitions, and by social and community media. Due to the complex nature of MLMC intervention trials, it is useful to assess participants’ exposure to each component of the intervention in order to assess impact. In this paper, we present a detailed methodology for evaluating participant exposure to MLMC intervention, and we explore how exposure to the OPREVENT2 trial impacted participant diet quality. There were no significant differences in total exposure score by age group, sex, or geographic region, but exposure to sub-components of the intervention differed significantly by age group, sex, and geographical region. Participants with the highest overall exposure scores showed significantly more improvement in diet quality from baseline to follow up compared to those who were least exposed to the intervention. Improved diet quality was also significantly positively associated with several exposure sub-components. While evaluating exposure to an entire MLMC intervention is complex and imperfect, it can provide useful insight into an intervention’s impact on key outcome measures, and it can help identify which components of the intervention were most effective.

“…In recent years, a great deal of literature has suggested that gratitude is strongly related to all aspects of well-being [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Several studies have investigated the relationship between gratitude and well-being with specific samples, such as nursing students [ 9 ], clinical nurses [ 10 ], university students [ 11 ], and early adolescents [ 12 ] in Korea. The current study was conducted in response to these Korean social issues.…”

This study examined the relationship between gratitude and subjective well-being (life satisfaction, hope, and positive and negative affect) with individual demographic background (i.e., age, education level, perceived economic status, and religious affiliation) in a sample of 761 Korean adults participated from five universities in South Korea. Specifically, gratitude was still an essential element for the subjective well-being of Korean adults, although the meaning of gratitude under Confucian culture implies indebtedness and obligation. The relationship between gratitude and subjective well-being did not differ by gender. Implications for the subjective well-being of Koreans are discussed.
