We’re interested in a wide spectrum of gratitude interventions and practices, ranging from self-help activities (e.g., gratitude journaling) to group programs to psychotherapy. We're also interested in the conceptualization and measurement of gratitude-related constructs.

​​Below is a list of our current (pre-publication) research projects and papers:

2. Examining the modality of gratitude expressions status: under review). 

3. A randomized controlled trial to evaluate a gratitude writing intervention focused on positive turning points in people’s lives (status: under review).

4. Experimental tests of agency appraisals (e.g., attributing one's positive outcomes to external versus internal causes) on gratitude (status: under review).

5. A randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of the Gratitude Group Program and group CBT for depression (status: data analysis).
