Further validation of the gratitude, resentment, and appreciation test (GRAT)

摘要

The authors conducted this study to further validate the revised short form of the Gratitude, Resentment, and Appreciation Test (GRAT; M. Thomas & P. Watkins, 2003) by investigating the relationship between GRAT-measured gratitude and two other constructs: (a) spiritual transcendence and (b) materialism. As predicted, both the GRAY and its subscales correlated positively with a measure of spiritual transcendence and negtively with a measure of materialism.
