Participants (N = 326 undergraduate students) were randomly assigned to write (a) a letter of GTG, (b) a letter of IHG, or (c) a description of their daily morning routine. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count 2015 was used to examine linguistic differences and conventional content analysis was used to explore thematic differences. Few linguistic differences were observed between the gratitude-writing conditions, but both gratitude conditions reported more affective, cognitive, and past-focused time-oriented language compared to the control condition. Qualitative analyses revealed participants in the GTG condition identified a greater breadth and depth of benefits compared to the IHG condition, and there were unique differences pertaining to non-gratitude expressions. Limitations and areas for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Positive Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135695910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Can these nudges cause individuals to feel more gratitude to God, an experience with established benefits for personal well-being? We present two experimental studies testing whether situational exposure to metaphor influences individuals’ appraisals of God’s benevolence and state levels of gratitude toward God. Across studies, we found that metaphors for God did increase both, but that these effects were highly conditional on audience characteristics. These studies advance our understanding of cognitive processes underlying gratitude to God and provide new insight on who may likely benefit from interventions designed to increase gratitude to God.KEYWORDS: Gratitude to Godconceptual metaphorgratitudePersonality Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).data availabilityThe data will be made available upon request by contacting the corresponding authorOpen scholarshipThis article has earned the Center for Open Science badges for Open Data and Open Materials through Open Practices Disclosure.

In Study 1, self-transcendent positive emotions elicited IH and gratitude emerged as a noteworthy predictor. Self-transcendent emotions occur in response to stimuli that are difficult to grasp logically, which underscores one’s intellectual limitations. In Study 2, cognitive appraisals of sanctification – involving interpreting something as sacred – were predictive of greater IH. Phenomena that are considered sacred are often experienced as ineffable and unknowable, which likewise increases awareness of one’s intellectual limits. In Study 3, individuals walking in nature experienced higher levels of self-transcendent emotions, sanctification appraisals, and GH than individuals walking in other settings. Although much of the literature discusses GH and IH as traits, this research emphasizes that they also function as dynamic states that can shift in response to emotions, cognitions, and environmental contexts.","PeriodicalId":48231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Positive Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135063411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With six waves of data from a sample of N = 215 Pakistani Muslim students, we used random-intercept cross-lagged panel modeling to examine the associations between decisional and emotional forgiveness from before to after Ramadan in 2020. We observed three key findings. First, we demonstrated the strong cross-time measurement invariance of both the Decision to Forgive and the Emotional Forgiveness scales. Second, both decisional and emotional forgiveness remained relatively stable during the holy month of Ramadan. Third, there was evidence supporting positive bidirectional temporal relations between decisional and emotional forgiveness, such that each construct demonstrated at least one positive lagged association with the other. We discuss some implications of the findings, including the potential for positive emotional changes to evoke positive changes in behavioral intentions towards transgressors.KEYWORDS: Longitudinalcross-lagged panel modelemotional forgivenessdecisional forgivenessRamadan Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).data availabilityThe data will be made available upon request by contacting the corresponding authorOpen scholarshipThis article has earned the Center for Open Science badge for Open Data.

This study investigated the role of mindfulness in strengths development, directly comparing the effects of mindfulness-based strengths practice (MBSP) and a form of CSBI without mindfulness. Ninety-five participants were randomly assigned to MBSP, CSBI, and blank control groups. Participants’ mindfulness, character strengths, strengths knowledge, strengths use, psychological well-being (PWB), and subjective well-being (SWB) were assessed before and after the intervention, and one month later. The results showed that MBSP and CSBI were equally effective in enhancing character strengths, strengths knowledge, and strengths use. MBSP was more effective in promoting mindfulness, PWB, and overall character strengths, while CSBI was more effective in enhancing participants’ SWB. The development of strengths knowledge and strengths use served as serial mediators of the increase in character strengths, and the development of mindfulness served as the mediator of the increase in PWB.","PeriodicalId":48231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Positive Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135734960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
