“…Another factor that affects happiness is gratitude (Anabella, 2022;Khairullah et al, 2021;Prabowo & Laksmiwati, 2020). Gratitude can help them overcome problems faced as well as a protective factor that can improve well-being, thus leading to a sense of happiness (Daulay et al, 2022). Individuals can achieve happiness because they are grateful and appreciate life.…”

Happiness is something that every individual yearns for, so an understanding of the factors that influence it is needed. This study aims to test the influence model of social support, spirituality, and gratitude on happiness through self-acceptance. Data collection using the scale of social support, spirituality, gratitude, self-acceptance, and happiness, with a sample of 790 Indonesian students. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. The structural model showed acceptable goodness of fit. Self-acceptance was demonstrated to significantly serve as a mediating variable in social support, spirituality, and gratitude in relation to happiness. In addition, social support (β = .112, p .01), gratitude (β = .256, p .01), spirituality (β = .431, p .01), and self-acceptance (β = .364, p .01) had significant positive relationships with happiness. The study has important implications globally for characteristics such as the sample used, especially with regard to the self-acceptance and happiness of university students.

“…The role of gratitude in flourishing is evidenced by research conducted by Tessy et al, which shows that gratitude contributes to the flourishing rate of young adults with divorced parents (Tessy et al, 2022). Other similar studies have also proven that gratitude affects new college students' well-being (Daulay et al, 2022).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic affected the level of individual flourishing, including students. However, research on flourishing with grit and gratitude as predictors still needs to be more explored. This study aims to determine the role of grit and gratitude towards flourishing in post-pandemic students. Voluntary convenience sampling was used to obtain respondents (N = 643 active students in the even semester 2021-2022). Data retrieval uses the grit scale, gratitude scale, and flourishing scale. Data analysis using multiple regression analysis obtained the result of the calculated F value of 490.061 with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). So, the variables grit and gratitude are predictors of flourishing variables. The effective contribution in the R Square column shows a figure of 0.605 or 60.5%. This means that the grit and gratitude variables contribute effectively to the flourishing intention variable by 60.5%. While other variables outside this study influenced the remaining 39.5%. They are partially showing that the most critical role in student flourishing in this study was grit (36.5%) compared to gratitude (24%). This study suggests that those who have higher levels of grit and gratitude will be able to maximize their abilities to obtain a quality and prosperous life, have positive emotions, and good study engagement.

“…Thus, there is a greater need to investigate protective factors that may mitigate these heightened risks for internalizing disorders. In this vein, researchers have begun to investigate dispositional gratitude as a protective factor that promotes psychological well-being among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic (Daulay et al, 2022; Wolfe, 2021). However, most of these studies were cross-sectional and did not examine the mechanisms through which gratitude may be protective for mental health.…”

and colleges in the United States implemented remote learning and restrictions on in-person social events during the Fall 2020 academic semester. These changes and restrictions, in addition to the other numerous negative impacts of COVID-19, can exacerbate the already stressful transition from high school to college. This transition is a key developmental period during which the complexity of interpersonal relationships and the risk of internalizing symptoms such as anxiety and depression increase. As such, the present study examined dispositional gratitude as a protective factor against depressive symptoms and loneliness among a sample of first-year college students who began college during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also examined whether perceived social support and support provision mediated these relationships. Participants were 364 first-year college students who completed three online surveys during the 1st (T1), 7th (T2), and 14th (T3) weeks of the Fall 2020 academic semester. T1 gratitude was associated with lower T3 depressive symptoms and feelings of loneliness over time. These relationships were mediated by T2 perceived social support but not by T2 support provision. Implications of our findings are discussed. Public Significance StatementGratitude was associated with lower levels of loneliness and depressive symptoms over time through increased perceived social support. Our study suggests that gratitude may be an especially important psychological asset and key intervention target for first-year college students' mental health.
