“…First, results of this study suggest gratitude is positively associated with social support. Given that higher levels of trait gratitude are associated with a greater tendency to be aware of and appreciate benefits received from others, people with higher levels of gratitude may also appreciate and value perceived social support (You et al, 2020). Furthermore, these findings are in line with past research which has shown that gratitude plays an important role in a person's recovery and is associated with greater social support and positive recovery outcomes (LaBelle & Edelstein, 2018).…”

COVID-19 and stay-at-home orders have caused disruptions in social interactions. Vulnerable populations, such as those in early substance use recovery, that rely on social support and social engagement have faced many challenges. The purpose of this study was to explore potential associations between perceived social support and recovery related outcomes, correlates of recovery related outcomes among face-to-face and virtual engagement, and identify characteristics that are predictive of perceived social support. Results revealed that social support was positively associated with quality of life and abstinence self-efficacy, and negatively associated with psychological distress. Additionally, recovery related outcomes differed among face-to-face and virtual interactions. Lastly, characteristics such as gratitude, mindfulness, and coping were positively associated with perceived social support.

“…That is, the mediating effect of gratitude on the promotion of prosociality was tested, and the results went in the same direction as previous research showing that a genuine feeling of gratitude promotes prosocial behaviors, since the grateful person seeks to reward the actions of the benefactor (Emmons et al, 2003;Oros, 2014). It is likely that the adolescents who developed higher levels of gratitude in the context of the intervention were better able to perceive the social support provided by others (McCullough et al, 2002;You et al, 2020), which favored solidarity behavior.…”

“…According to McCullough et al (2002), it is likely that people with a higher level of gratitude more strongly perceive the social support they receive from others. You et al (2020) found that gratitude directly predicted prosocial behavior in adolescents. In addition, serenity is a feeling of peace and trust that can be experienced independently of external events and involves inner peace, even in the face of adverse events (Connors et al, 1999).…”

The objectives of this study are to analyze the efficacy of the Virtual Hero Program during the social isolation due to COVID-19 to increase the positive emotions (joy, gratitude, serenity, personal satisfaction, and sympathy) and prosocial behavior of Colombian adolescents. Additionally, we will analyze whether the Hero program, by directly promoting positive emotional states in adolescents, can predispose them to take prosocial actions toward other people (via an indirect or mediated effect). The final sample of the study comprised 100 participants from the intervention group (M age = 13.94, SD = 0.97) and 111 from the control group (M age = 14.39, SD = 0.81). The participants were assigned to the groups using a cluster randomized trial. The positive emotions questionnaire and the Kindness and Generosity subscale of the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths were used to measure the variables. The results indicated that the program increased joy, gratitude, serenity and personal satisfaction but not sympathy of those who participated in the intervention. The promotion of these positive emotions predisposed the Colombian adolescents to act prosocially. Furthermore, the program was also effective in directly promoting prosocial behaviors in the adolescents during social isolation, as observed through a statistically significant difference in the pre- and post-test evaluations between the control and intervention groups. The structure of the intervention brought adolescents closer to social situations to which isolation had limited their access, promoting the importance of closeness and solidarity with others within the complexities of the social confinement context. This study is particularly relevant because interventions with proven effectiveness are necessary to counteract the trauma produced by social isolation in young people throughout the world.

“…Entre los aspectos positivos derivados de ser agradecido y expresar gratitud a los demás se han encontrado, por ejemplo, un incremento de la empatía (Chen et al, 2020;DeWall et al, 2012), la autoestima (Lin, 2015), el bienestar subjetivo (Deng et al, 2019;Jans-Beken et al, 2018) y la satisfacción vital (Guse et al, 2017). También, diversas investigaciones han obtenido hallazgos sobre el papel de la gratitud para promover la generosidad, los comportamientos prosociales y la valoración social hacia los demás, disminuyendo los niveles de agresión, los comportamientos antisociales y las conductas denigrantes y de agresión física hacia los otros (Bono et al, 2019;Cho y Fast, 2012;Deng et al, 2019;DeWall et al, 2012;Yost-Dubrow y Dunham, 2018;You et al, 2020).…”

Desde los últimos años se ha observado un aumento de conductas de ciberacoso que conlleva graves consecuencias negativas en los adolescentes implicados. Diversos estudios han analizado qué factores de riesgo y de protección influyen en estas situaciones, así como su repercusión sobre el bienestar de los adolescentes. Dos recursos personales que han evidenciado tener efectos protectores sobre el ajuste psicológico y la salud de los adolescentes son la inteligencia emocional (IE) y la gratitud. Sin embargo, son pocos los estudios que han examinado ambas variables en situaciones de ciberacoso. Por ello, el principal objetivo de esta investigación consistió en examinar el papel conjunto de ambos factores en el ciberacoso. Concretamente, se hipotetizó un efecto de interacción IE x gratitud para predecir la ciberagresión. Una muestra de 770 adolescentes españoles entre 12 y 14 años (54.4% mujeres) cumplimentaron diferentes cuestionarios que evaluaban la IE (WLEIS-S), la gratitud (GQ-5) y el ciberacoso (ECIP-Q). Los resultados reflejaron correlaciones significativas en la dirección esperada entre las variables. Asimismo, la IE moderó el efecto principal de la gratitud sobre la ciberagresión. Estos resultados aportan evidencias sobre el papel protector de ambos recursos en situaciones de ciberacoso. Se comentan las implicaciones teóricas y prácticas de los hallazgos obtenidos.
