'Gratitude is what builds society, binding individuals together through thanks,' writes rdouglasfields1 with the data to back him up.
A new study adds data showing the tangible mental and physical health benefits of gratitude.
This is a Thanksgiving like no other. It is too easy to overlook the priceless blessings of good health, family, friends, and freedom when they are in abundance. But disease swept the globe and took away with it so much of immeasurable value that we had taken for granted. We have all—here and around the world—suffered dreadful illness, the loss of loved ones, unemployment, and isolation, either directly or indirectly through our loved ones, friends, and colleagues.
Gratitude was measured by responses to questions, such as, “I have so much in life to be thankful for,” and “I am grateful to a wide variety of people.” Participants quantified their responses on a 7-point scale from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree,” so that the results could be analyzed statistically. Similar questions were asked to assess other psychological aspects, such as feelings of stress.
