1135 Words5 Pages

Gratitude and Happiness There are many studies that bind happiness and gratitude. Wood and his colleagues in their work “Gratitude and Well-Being: A Review and Theoretical Integration” (2010) stated that gratitude is strongly related to well-being and this link may be unique and causal. In line with this, Rajan & Easvaradoss (2012) aimed to examine the impact of happiness-related interventions on happiness and gratitude among adolescents from 120 respondents. Their study revealed that happiness has a positive relationship with gratitude and females were happier and more grateful to males and age had no effect on the variables.The finding of Kong et al. (2015) is different as in the study of 427 Chinese undergraduates that males are more grateful than female counterpart of the study. In the study of Triantoro Safaria (2014) to explore the relationship between gratitude and forgiveness with happiness mong college students from a private university in Indonesia, he found out that gratitude has a significant relationship to happiness and the opposite for forgiveness. His conclusion added to the literature that gratitude ascertains well-being of adolescents. The result is the same in the study of Lin & Yeh (2014) on “How Gratitude Influences Well-being: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach”. The results contributed to the understanding of how gratitude influences university students’ well-being. The study of Sapmaz, et al. (2016) from 443 Turkish respondents on

  • Summary Of Sometimes Gladness By Bruce Dawe

    139 Words  | 1 Pages

    ‘Sometimes Gladness’, a collection of poems by Bruce Dawe mention a variety of references to Australian culture; although often looked over by the reader. Without the use of stereotypical behaviours or even language known universally, the naming of certain places known to Australia in ‘Drifters’ and ‘Revire of a swimmer’ gets muddled with the overall message of the poems. Moreover, even when Australian slang is incorporated into the poem, a larger audience can relate to what is being said; as Dawe relies on universally issues to form the backbone of his poetry, especially in ‘Homecoming’ and ‘Life-Cycle’. Lastly, a distinct Australian poem would only be expected to explore issues relating to the countries individual culture or issues, though

This suggests the measurement of objective happiness by means of individual balance of positive and negative experiences. Other studies revealed that purely measuring positive emotions, strong implications could be made about the individual happiness level; they can be seen as markers and sources of happiness (Diener, 2005). This is the reason why Seligman only used positive emotions in the PERMA model. Having a valued and worth filling positive life also strongly depends on positive emotions, (Fredrickson, 2001) due to the high correlation of life satisfaction and SWB (Michalos, et al., 2009).
