| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to understand what positive changes we can expect in family units after participating in gratitude-based interventions. We conducted a meta-analysis after a systematic literature review, identifying four relevant research articles that use comparable interventions and outcome measures to estimate the overall effect sizes. The analyses focused on different positive outcome constructs to determine the efficacy of gratitude interventions in increasing positive outcomes. These constructs were focused on personal well-being (gratitude and subjective happiness) or family well-being (family happiness and family harmony). After conducting a random effects meta-analysis within each subgroup, results indicated that measures of gratitude and family happiness were not sensitive to change in subjects after participating in a gratitude-based intervention, however subjective happiness and family harmony did yield a significant effect after gratitude-based interventions, such that reports of subjective happiness and family harmony increased post-intervention with a (small, medium or large) effect size. | en_US |
