The effect of a grateful outlook on psychological and physical well-being was examined. In Studies 1
and 2, participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 experimental conditions (hassles, gratitude listing,
and either neutral life events or social comparison); they then kept weekly (Study 1) or daily (Study 2)
records of their moods, coping behaviors, health behaviors, physical symptoms, and overall life appraisals.
In a 3rd study, persons with neuromuscular disease were randomly assigned to either the gratitude
condition or to a control condition. The gratitude-outlook groups exhibited heightened well-being across
several, though not all, of the outcome measures across the 3 studies, relative to the comparison groups.
The effect on positive affect appeared to be the most robust finding. Results suggest that a conscious
focus on blessings may have emotional and interpersonal benefits.
