感恩:人格研究的新专题

感恩是当前西方人格心理学领域研究的热点。感恩的社会认知模型认为，利益评价在特质感恩和状态感恩之间，以及情境因素与状态感恩之间起着中介的作用。许多研究对这一模型进行了验证，并发现了感恩与主观幸福感、亲社会行为以及负债感之间的关系，结果表明，感恩是幸福感强有力的预测指标，感恩的人更具有亲社会行为，感恩不同于负债感。

Gratitude: A Positive Personality Trait

Gratitude is a heated spot in the research of personality psychology in western psychology recently. The social-cognitive model of gratitude considers that benefit appraisals mediated the relationship between trait and state levels of gratitude, and the relationship between different situations and state gratitude. Many reseachers tested the model and conducted deep research into the relationship between gratitude and subjective well-being, prosocial behavior and indebtedness. As the results show, gratitude is a robust predictor of well-being; grateful people tend to have more prosocial behaviors; and gratitude cannot be equated with indebtedness.
