Following an onboarding survey, participants completed a morning well-being practice and an evening follow-up survey for a week. Overall, 76% of the participants initiated the intervention (i.e., returned to the platform after enrollment to start the intervention), completing an average of four daily practices. Several demographic (e.g., being older, White) and psychological variables (e.g., lower financial strain, higher life satisfaction) emerged as common predictors of initiating the intervention and completing more practices. Age was a particularly important predictor across outcomes. These findings offer novel insights into how individual characteristics relate to engagement in online well-being interventions and have implications for both designing the interventions and interpreting findings.","PeriodicalId":48231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Positive Psychology","volume":"20 4","pages":"699-712"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12440383/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Treatment response (≥50% reduction in HDRS) was measured in 46 of these MDD participants after 8 weeks of open-label selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment. MDD participants reported significantly lower pre-treatment optimism than healthy controls. Higher pre-treatment optimism, as well as greater increase in optimism (pre-treatment to 8 weeks), were associated with greater likelihood of being an SSRI responder versus non-responder (β=0.21, p=0.013; β =0.32, p=0.01, respectively), even when ratings of optimism/pessimism were excluded from depression severity/response ratings.

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.
