Title: | Dispositional gratitude mediates the relationship between a past-positive temporal frame and well-being | Contributor(s): | Bhullar, Navjot (author) ; Surman, Glenn (author); Schutte, Nicola (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.paid.2014.11.025 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/16523 | Abstract: | Both past-positive temporal frame, which involves dwelling on positive memories of the past, and dispositional gratitude are associated with positive life outcomes, including greater life satisfaction. A past-positive temporal frame may provide a foundation for the development of dispositional gratitude. The present study examined a model positing that gratitude mediates the relationship between past-positive temporal frame and well-being. Two hundred and thirty-three participants (mean age = 34.10 years; SD = 14.21) completed measures of characteristic past-positive temporal frame, dispositional gratitude, and several indices of well-being. Higher levels of a past positive temporal frame were associated with greater gratitude and indices of well-being. Higher levels of gratitude were associated with indices of well-being. Gratitude mediated the relationship between past-positive temporal frame and well-being. These results provide information regarding a possible process through which past-positive temporal frames have beneficial effects. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Personality and Individual Differences, v.76, p. 52-55 | Publisher: | Elsevier Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1873-3549 0191-8869 |
