“…A gratidão requer a retribuição do bem com o bem: um ato generoso é retribuído com generosidade e, portanto, busca-se satisfazer uma necessidade ou um desejo singular do benfeitor (McConnell, 1993). Em síntese, quando se trata de desenvolvimento da gratidão, é importante considerar não apenas os níveis de gratidão, isto é, o quanto os jovens são gratos (e.g., Froh et al, 2014;Froh et al, 2011), mas também as diferentes formas de gratidão (Baumgarten-Tramer, 1938;Bonnie & de Waal, 2004;Freitas et al, 2011;Piaget, 1954;Tudge et al, 2011).…”

“…É importante que tenha sido confirmada a expectativa de que os jovens com valores hedonistas expressem mais provavelmente gratidão concreta, porque sugere a existência de uma relação entre o desenvolvimento da gratidão e os sistemas de valores dos jovens. Quando se trata de crianças e adolescentes, não basta se examinar apenas os níveis de gratidão (o quanto os jovens são gratos) (e.g., Froh, et al, 2014;Froh, Kashdan, Ozimkowski, & Miller, 2009), pois existem diferentes formas de gratidão (Baumgarten-Tramer, 1938;Bonnie & de Waal, 2004;Freitas et al, 2011;Piaget, 1954; e cabe considerar-se os sistemas de valores (e.g., Gouveia et al, 2014;Schwartz, 2012), e não apenas um tipo de valor (Froh et al, 2011).…”

ResumoInvestigam-se relações entre o desenvolvimento da gratidão e tipos de valores. Trezentos e noventa e seis jovens de 7 a 14 anos responderam a Wishes and Gratitude Survey. Previu-se que, com o aumento da idade, haveria (a) uma diminuição de valores hedonistas; (b) uma diminuição de gratidão concreta e um aumento de gratidão conectiva. A terceira hipótese foi a de que seria mais provável que jovens com valores hedonistas expressassem gratidão concreta e aqueles com valores relacionados ao bem-estar de outros (BEO) expressassem gratidão conectiva. Para testar essas hipóteses, utilizou-se análise de regressão (estimativa de curva e regressão logística). Com o aumento da idade, os valores hedonistas e a gratidão concreta diminuíram; não se verificou aumento de gratidão conectiva. Valores hedonistas relacionaram-se positivamente à gratidão concreta. Todavia, valores BEO não se associaram à gratidão conectiva. Palavras-chave: gratidão, valores, desenvolvimento moral, crianças, adolescentes The Relations between the Development of Gratitude and Types of Values in Youth AbstractWe studied the relations between the development of gratitude and types of values. A total of 396 7-to 14-year-old youth group responded to the Wishes and Gratitude Survey. We expected that, with the increase in age, there would be (a) a decrease of hedonistic values and (b) a decrease of concrete gratitude and an increase in connective gratitude. Our third hypothesis was that it would be more likely for the young with hedonistic values express concrete gratitude and those with values related to the well-being of others (WBO) to express connective gratitude. To test these hypotheses we used regression analysis (curve estimation and logistic regression). With an increase in age, hedonistic values and concrete gratitude declined; there was no increase in connective gratitude. Hedonistic values were related positively to concrete gratitude. However WBO values were not related to connective gratitude.

“…which previous researchers (Froh et al, 2014;Froh, Sefick, & Emmons, 2008;Peterson, Ruch, Beermann, Park, & Seligman, 2007;Seligman, 2011) have demonstrated are associated with subjective well-being and happiness. One implication of this finding is that the SEHS-S could be used to identify students who are exhibiting early indications of diminished life quality indicators .…”

This study explored the effects of being bullied from a dual-factor lens, specifically examining the relation between victimization and constructs that contribute to social-emotional well-being. Prior to carrying out the main analyses, the factor structure of self-report items related to experiencing bullying and harassment from the California Healthy Kids Survey, which was administered to more than 14,000 high school students, was examined to establish that these items represent an overall factor: students’ experience of victimization. This factor was then used as an independent variable in a series of planned comparisons with a dependent variable represented by constructs addressed by the Social Emotional Health Survey–Secondary: belief-in-self, emotional competence, belief-in-others, and engaged living. With increased frequency of victimization, suicidality increased and belief-in-others decreased. For other constructs, belief-in-self, engaged living, and depression, there were significant differences found between individuals who had experienced frequencies of bullying as low as less than once a month and those who did not experience bullying at all but no further detrimental impacts were seen with even higher frequencies of victimization, indicating that being victimized at all is significantly worse than not being victimized for these variables. Implications and future directions for research are explored.

“…The third type of gratitude intervention is a benefits appraisal study. In the first of its kind, Froh et al [37] demonstrated the long-term effects (up to five months) of a gratitude curriculum designed to teach 112 children and adolescents, eight to 11 years old, to recognize, acknowledge, and appraise help that was received from another person. The aforementioned authors [37] reported a small effect size (GAC; [1, 95] = 4.25, < 0.05, 2 = 0.04).…”

“…Research conducted among youth emanated from findings of the relatedness of measured gratitude to the physical, emotional, and social health of adults [27]. Positive correlations between gratitude and general well-being, psychological well-being, school experiences [27], and academically related outcomes among children and adolescents have been documented [36,37].…”

Population studies paint a dismal picture of the mental health status of adolescents, in the US and worldwide. Positive psychology, which takes a preventative approach to keeping individuals in higher states of well-being, is being implemented increasingly among youth, with the goal of avoiding future mental health and psychological problems. In this study, a novel intervention, which fused the practice of meditation with gratitude visualizations, was tested among adolescents. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to determine the extent to which the intervention affected life satisfaction, school satisfaction, and measured gratitude, among a culturally diverse cohort of adolescents. Instrumentation consisted of three positive psychology measures-the Student Life Satisfaction Scale, the School Satisfaction Subscale, and the Gratitude Questionnaire-Six-Item Form. Participants were randomly assigned either to the delayed-intervention, no-treatment control group or to the experimental group. The four-week intervention was manualized primarily from the heart-centered gratitude visualizations outlined in a happiness and positive emotions handbook, The Jewels of Happiness: Inspiration and Wisdom to Guide Your Life-Journey. The intervention significantly affected life satisfaction, school satisfaction, and gratitude of the experimental group, when compared to the control group. Medium to large effect sizes were detected using the ANCOVA statistical test.
