Abstract

PurposeThis investigation purports to study if gratitude interventions lead to an increase in overall wellbeing among Indian youth during the coronavirus lockdown. Second, to examine if a cumulative effect of two gratitude interventions on wellbeing is greater than a single gratitude intervention.MethodParticipants (N = 80) were randomly allocated to the experimental and control groups (n = 40 each).ResultIt was found that after administering a single gratitude intervention there was a significant increase in mental health, happiness, and gratitude and a decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress in the experimental group. Moreover, after administering two gratitude interventions together, a greater increase was seen in these variables as compared to the administration of a single gratitude intervention. There was no significant change in the control group in both cases.ConclusionIn summary, online gratitude interventions lead to increase in happiness and mental health and decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress even during crises such as the coronavirus pandemic. Moreover, the cumulative effect of two gratitude interventions is more than a single gratitude intervention. It is suggested that these gratitude interventions should be included in providing mental health care even when clients are not able to meet counselors in physical settings.

COVID-19大流行期间对青年的在线感恩干预：随机试验

目的这项调查旨在研究在冠状病毒封锁期间，感恩干预措施是否会提高印度青年的整体幸福感。其次，研究两种感恩干预对幸福感的累积影响是否大于一种感恩干预。方法将参与者（N=80）随机分为实验组和对照组（各N=40）。此外，在同时实施两种感恩干预后，与实施单一感恩干预相比，这些变量的增加幅度更大。两种情况下对照组均无明显变化。结论总之，即使在冠状病毒大流行等危机期间，在线感恩干预也能提高幸福感和心理健康，减少抑郁、焦虑和压力。此外，两次感恩干预的累积效应大于一次感恩干预。建议在提供心理健康护理时，即使客户无法在物理环境中见到辅导员，也应包括这些感恩干预措施。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
