Life has been good to me.
There never seems to be enough to go around, and I never seem to get my share. (Reverse scored.)
I really don't think that I've gotten all the good things that I deserve in life. (Reverse scored.)
More bad things have happened to me in my life than I deserve. (Reverse scored.)
Because of what I've gone through in my life, I really feel like the world owes me something. (Reverse scored.)
For some reason I never seem to get the advantages that others get. (Reverse scored.)
Oftentimes I have been overwhelmed at the beauty of nature.
Every Fall I really enjoy watching the leaves change colors.
I think that it's important to 'Stop and smell the roses.'
I think that it's important to pause often to 'count my blessings.'
I think it's important to enjoy the simple things in life.
I think it's important to appreciate each day that you are alive.
I couldn't have gotten where I am today without the help of many people.
Although I think it's important to feel good about your accomplishments, I think that it's also important to remember how others have contributed to my accomplishments.
Although I'm basically in control of my life, I can't help but think about all those who have supported me and helped me along the way.
I feel deeply appreciative for the things others have done for me in my life.
I have so much in life to be thankful for.
If I had to list everything that I felt thankful for, it would be a very long list.
When I look at the world, I don't see much to be thankful for.
I am thankful to a wide variety of people. (Reverse scored.)
As I get older I find myself more able to appreciate the people, events, and situations that have been part of my life history.
Long amounts of time can go by before I feel gratitude to something or someone. (Reverse scored.)
Grateful.
Thankful.
Appreciative.
The gratitude scales employed are:
GRAT: Gratitude, Resentment, Appreciation Test (1–9).
Short form with subscales LOSD (lack of a sense of deprivation),
SA (simple appreciation), and AO (appreciation for others).
GQ-6: Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (1–7).
GAC: Gratitude Adjective Checklist (1–5).
The item losd_1
has been omitted from all analyses in Froh et al. (2011)
because it loaded lowly on all factors. Hence losd_1
is not listed in
Table B1 of Froh et al. (2011). Instead, the remaining items are labeled
losd_1
to losd_5
.
