“…Gratitude is effective in improving the quality of life of women living with HIV/AIDS and reported more positive feelings after receiving the gratitude intervention (Adhiningtyas & Utami, 2020). Gratitude can also significantly affect the quality of life of adolescents (Anand et al, 2021). Previous research has consistently found that gratitude can affect a person's quality of life, regardless of the various living conditions they face.…”

The participants in this study were 10 schizophrenic family caregivers aged by 19-60 years. The number of participants in this study was 5 participants in the experimental group with 4 female participants and 1 male participant (M age = 41.2 years) and 5 participants in the control group with 4 female participants and 1 male participant (M age = 46.4 years). This study used the quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) developed by the World Health Organization with Cronbach’s alpha reliability score of .828. The data analysis in this study used anava mixed. The results of the analysis showed that the research data was significant at p = .009 (p < .05) with a partial eta squared value of .553. The results showed that gratitude training 55.3% affected improving the quality of life of schizophrenic family caregivers. This intervention could be applied to increasing the family caregiver’s quality of life in the future.

“…Individuals with high Mindful attention and awareness might perceive fear eliciting stimuli as less threatening, but also have reduced craving toward motivationally salient pleasant stimuli which in turn might provide a non-biased assessments [5] and a quicker return to the state of calmness after being exposed to a consecutive stressful stimuli [21] . The construct was found to be related with positive psychological constructs such as Gratitude [22,23,24,25] or a "generalized tendency to recognize and respond with gratefulness to the role of other people's benevolence in the positive experiences and outcomes that one obtains" [26] , and Self-compassion [22] .…”

Introduction: Recent studies about Mindful Attention and Awareness elucidated its potential role in affective difficulties and behavioral regulation, but authors call for further investigation of potential underlying mechanisms. Research goal: The current study was conducted in order to examine the preliminary psychometric properties of Serbian Mindful Attention and Awareness scale, its relationship with positive psychological constructs, along with its mediating role in the relationships of Depressiveness as a trait, with behavioral Activation, and Avoidance. Method: A cross-sectional research was conducted on a sample of 504 students of different levels and courses of education in the Serbian speaking area. Results: Serbian version of Mindful Attention and Awareness scale demonstrated high reliability (a=0.83) and a single factor solution that was found to be the most adequate. Significant correlations with theoretically related positive psychological constructs such as Gratitude (r=0.12, p<0.001), Self-compassion (r=0.46, p<0.001) and its components such Self-kindness (r=0.21, p<0.001), Over identification (r=-0.47, p<0.001) and Mindfulness (r=-0.29, p<0.001) were found. It was also the case for distress components such as Depressiveness (r=-0.41, p<0.001), Anxiety (r=-0.46, p<0.001) and Stress (r=-0.50, p<0.001), as well as for Behavioral activation for depression (r=0.46, p<0.001) and its components Activation (r=0.34, p<0.001) and Avoidance (r=-0.35, p<0.001). Additionally it was found that Mindful Attention and Awareness significantly mediates the relationship between Depressiveness and Activation as well as in the case of Depressiveness and Avoidance. Conclusion: Along with the study limitations, mindfulness enhancing effect was discussed in accordance to its potentially mitigating effects on unpleasant automatic states and regulation of behavior patterns, so that it might contribute to the development of value guided behaviors.
