“…Procedimentos controlados de tradução do inglês para o português do Brasil e de revisão da redação foram adotados a fim de garantir que o conteúdo dos itens mantivesse correspondência com o instrumento original e com a teoria do construto. Análises fatoriais confirmatórias mostraram adequados índices de ajuste para a estrutura de um fator, tal como encontrado no estudo original do instrumento (McCullough et al, 2002) e em outros estudos de adaptação (e.g., Caputo, 2016;Chen et al, 2009;Gouveia et al, 2019;Kong et al, 2017;Langer et al, 2016). O instrumento ainda apresentou coeficientes alfa e ômega de 0,79, que podem ser considerados satisfatórios índices de fidedignidade (Nunnally, 1978).…”

“…Além disso, a gratidão se correlacionou positivamente com vitalidade, esperança, emoções positivas e satisfação de vida, e negativamente com ansiedade e depressão, conforme esperado (McCullough et al, 2002). Esse instrumento foi elaborado para adultos no contexto norte-americano e adaptado para outras culturas, como Chile (Langer, Ulloa, Aguilar-Parra, Araya-Véliz, & Brito, 2016), China (Kong, You, & Zhao, 2017), Itália (Caputo, 2016), Taiwan (Chen, Chen, Kee, & Tsai, 2009).…”

Pesquisas sobre gratidão têm se mostrado cada vez mais frequentes, sobretudo, devido às suas relações com o bem-estar. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi adaptar e buscar evidências de validade para o Brasil de uma medida de gratidão, o Gratitude Questionnaire. Foram realizados procedimentos controlados de tradução e aplicou-se o instrumento em 916 adultos, média de idade de 37 anos, predominantemente com ensino superior completo. Os resultados revelaram adequação dos dados à estrutura de um fator do instrumento, com adequada consistência interna e itens altamente discriminativos. As correlações entre gratidão e demais variáveis mostraram-se de acordo com o esperado teoricamente: positivas com autoestima, otimismo, satisfação de vida e afeto positivo. A gratidão ainda explicou o bem-estar subjetivo para além dos fatores de personalidade. O instrumento mostrou satisfatórias evidências de validade no contexto brasileiro, contudo, observou-se que ele carece de itens que cubram o espectro mais alto do traço latente. Palavras-chave: gratidão; validade do teste; bem-estar subjetivo; traços de personalidade. ABSTRACT-Gratitude in the Brazilian Context: Measurement and Relationship with Personality and Well-Being Studies on gratitude are becoming increasingly frequent, mainly because of its relationship with well-being. The aim of this study was to adapt an instrument of gratitude, the Gratitude Questionnaire, and to seek evidence of its validity for Brazil. Controlled translation procedures were performed, and the instrument was applied to 916 adults, mean age 37 years, predominantly with higher education level. The results revealed adequacy of the data for a single factor structure of the instrument, with satisfactory reliability, and highly discriminative items. The correlations between gratitude and other variables were as theoretically expected: Positive with self-esteem, optimism, life satisfaction, and positive affect. Gratitude also explained subjective well-being beyond personality factors. The instrument showed satisfactory evidence of validity in the Brazilian context; however, it was observed that it lacks items that cover the higher spectrum of the latent trait.

Gratitude at Work Works! A Mix-Method Study on Different Dimensions of Gratitude, Job Satisfaction, and Job Performance

et al. 2019

Gratitude may be defined as a personal positive tendency to recognize and respond with gratitude to positive experiences. It has been extensively described within personal relationship literature, showing its correlations with life satisfaction and decreased psychopathology. We propose here to consider gratitude as both a personal and an organizational value able to improve job performance and job satisfaction. The specific aim is twofold: to explore how public administration workers are used to express and perceive gratitude in the workplace, and to validate a serial mediation model, in which dispositional, collective, and relational gratitude are predictors of job satisfaction and job performance. We have designed a mix-method study, with a survey and a diary study, choosing to collect data also on a daily basis because we were interested in gratitude exchanges in work contexts using the event-sampling data method. Nine employees from several Italian public administrations completed a gratitude diary for ten working days in the initial qualitative part of the study. Afterwards, a sample of 96 Italian public administration employees filled in a questionnaire with measures related to job satisfaction, job performance, and three dimensions of gratitude: dispositional, collective, and relational. Results confirm that the three types of gratitude are predictors of job performance and job satisfaction and this relation has been tested in a serial mediation model. This investigation on gratitude has practical implications for the planning of training interventions framed in the positive psychology context.

“…Compared with the other two scales, the GQ has become the most widely used instrument for assessing dispositional gratitude in healthy populations, and is extensively used around the world. To our knowledge, the scale has been validated in many countries such as America, Italy, Chile, and Turkey ( Froh et al, 2011 ; Yüksel and Oguz Duran, 2012 ; Jans-Beken et al, 2015 ; Caputo, 2016 ; Langer et al, 2016 ). Therefore, the aim of the present research was validate the scale in a Chinese population.…”

Evaluation of the Gratitude Questionnaire in a Chinese Sample of Adults: Factorial Validity, Criterion-Related Validity, and Measurement Invariance Across Sex

2017

The Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ; McCullough et al., 2002) is one of the most widely used instruments to assess dispositional gratitude. The purpose of this study was to validate a Chinese version of the GQ by examining internal consistency, factor structure, convergent validity, and measurement invariance across sex. A total of 1151 Chinese adults were recruited to complete the GQ, Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scales, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the original unidimensional model fitted well, which is in accordance with the findings in Western populations. Furthermore, the GQ had satisfactory composite reliability and criterion-related validity with measures of life satisfaction and affective well-being. Evidence of configural, metric and scalar invariance across sex was obtained. Tests of the latent mean differences found females had higher latent mean scores than males. These findings suggest that the Chinese version of GQ is a reliable and valid tool for measuring dispositional gratitude and can generally be utilized across sex in the Chinese context.
