“…The scale uses a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very slightly or not at all; 5 = extremely). Previous studies have found that the Chinese version of this scale has satisfactory reliability and validity (Tong & Wang, 2017;Yang, Yan, Jia, Wang, & Kong, 2020). In this study, Cronbach's alpha coefficients of general positive affect and negative affect were .94 and .91, respectively.…”

Nurses have a relatively higher rate of depressive symptoms compared to other people. Previous studies have reported that gratitude is correlated with depressive symptoms among healthcare workers. The purpose of this study was to explore the causal relationship between gratitude and depressive symptoms among Chinese nurses. We collected data over 4 months, with 393 nurses at Time 1 and 241 at Time 2. All participants completed online questionnaires. We employed the structural equation models to test the hypotheses.The results revealed that gratitude at Time 1 could predict depressive symptoms at Time 2, and depressive symptoms at Time 1 could predict gratitude at Time 2. These results remained significant after controlling for gender, age, education, marital status, professional title, general positive affect, and negative affect. The findings provide initial evidence about the causal relationship between gratitude and depressive symptoms among Chinese nurses. Hospital administrators can intervene in depressive symptoms of nurses by developing gratitude interventions. Furthermore, nurses with lower levels of depressive symptoms feel more grateful.

“…Research in the field of positive psychology indicates that positive emotions such as gratitude—not just the absence of negative emotions—are central to health, wellness, resilience, and human flourishing (see Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000 ). Robust evidence with adults and adolescents indicates that gratitude is associated with lower risk of psychopathology and higher well‐being (Bono et al., 2019 ; Froh, Bono, & Emmons, 2010 ; Kwok, Gu, & Cheung, 2019 ; Wood et al., 2010 ; Yang, Yan, Jia, Wang, & Kong, 2020 ).…”

During the COVID‐19 pandemic, some ways of using social media—such as directly communicating with friends—may have helped adolescents thrive. We examined longitudinal associations between high school adolescents’ social media use and gratitude across a 15‐month period before and during the pandemic ( n = 704, M age = 15.10; 52% girls). The trajectories of gratitude and the importance of social media for meaningful conversations with friends—but not frequency of social media use—were positively associated over time. At the within‐person level, gratitude predicted increased importance of social media for meaningful conversations, but not vice‐versa. Findings suggest that gratitude may be associated with and may motivate using social media to foster social connection, but may not increase overall social media use.

“…Trait gratitude is a positive outlook, which refers to an orientation to notice the positive outcomes that one obtains [4]. Trait gratitude positively affects the well-being of adolescents, such as life satisfaction and positive affect [5]. In addition, trait gratitude is associated with less negative emotion, such as envy [6].…”

Though prior research has identified that gratitude is associated with benign/malicious envy (BeMaS). The purpose of this study was to explore the causal relationship between gratitude and BeMaS among Chinese adolescents. The two-wave study, in which 906 adolescents participated, includes measurements of gratitude and BeMaS. We employed the structural equation models to test the cross-lagged effect between trait gratitude and BeMaS. The results showed that gratitude could positively predict benign envy and could negatively predict malicious envy. Besides, there was no evidence for the reverse or reciprocal relationships between gratitude and BeMaS. The findings provide further evidence about the causal relationship between gratitude and BeMaS among adolescents. Moreover, these results have implications for gratitude interventions that promote the constructive meaning of envy and reduce the negative influence of envy.
