“…Furthermore, gratitude had a significant contribution to predicting happiness by 18% (Sapmaz et al, 2016). In the study of Kardas Cam, Eskisu, and Gelibolu (2019), gratitude only predicted 36% of the variance in wellbeing and was one of the highest predictors of well-being.…”
The present study aims at identifying the separate and interactive contribution of gratitude and mindfulness in predicting happiness; examining the relationship between these variables; identifying differences between students with high happiness and students with low happiness in gratitude and mindfulness; and identifying the levels of gratitude, mindfulness, and happiness among the students of Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University. The research sample consisted of 447 female students aged 18-25 years. The research instruments included the Toronto Mindfulness Scale, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, as well as the Gratitude, Resentment, and Appreciation Test-Short form. The study found out that gratitude and mindfulness had a significant contribution in predicting happiness among university students (31% and 41.5%, respectively). The interaction between the total scores of mindfulness and gratitude contributed 51.5% of the variance in happiness among university students. The interaction between mindfulness, sense of abundance, and simple appreciation contributed 54.4% of the variance in happiness among university students. The study found a positive correlation between mindfulness, gratitude (sense of abundance, simple appreciation, appreciation of others), and happiness. Additionally, it was found that students at Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University had moderate levels of mindfulness and moderate to high levels of gratitude and happiness. The sense of abundance domain was moderate, the simple appreciation domain was high, and the appreciation of others domain was moderate. Mindfulness, gratitude, sense of abundance, simple appreciation, and appreciation of others increased among the students with high happiness.

Section: Optimismo Y Bienestar Psicológicounclassified
Los constructos optimismo y bienestar psicológico han sido estudiados con mayor dedicación durante los últimos años, desde el enfoque de la psicología positiva. El objetivo del presente trabajo es indagar la relación existente entre ambas variables mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura previa, sintetizando de tal modo el estado del arte del mencionado vínculo. A partir de la revisión se concluye que el optimismo se asocia fuertemente y de manera positiva al bienestar psicológico. Además, el primero constituye un predictor del segundo. Sin embargo, se sugiere continuar indagando sobre el vínculo entre estos dos constructos para conocer con mayor certeza la naturaleza del mismo.
