The Multi-Component Gratitude Measure in Spanish for youth: An adaptation of the MCGM in Colombia

Validation of the Multi-Component Gratitude Measure (MCGM) with samples in the United States

“…The MCGM was developed through three stages: in an initial conceptual stage, participants responded to vignettes that were manipulated to examine understandings of gratitude which generated a total of 119 items; in a second stage, these items were then entered into an exploratory factor analysis that identified 6 factors among 29 retained items that explained 42% of the variance; and in a final stage, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on a hierarchical structure with six first-order factors under three MCGM components (emotion, attitude, and behavior) as secondorder factors (Morgan et al, 2017). The MCGM has been tested for its hierarchical structure, as well as its construct and incremental validity with good results across Spanish and German-versions (Gómez et al, 2022;Hudecek et al, 2020;Morgan et al, 2017).…”
