Gratitude and health: An updated review (2019, positive): “The grateful emotion promotes (upstream) reciprocity, and prosocial behaviour (Bartlett & DeSteno, 2006; Clore, Ortony, & Foss, 1987; Lazarus & Lazarus, 1996; Nowak & Roch, 2007; Tsang, 2006; Weiner, 1985; Wood, Maltby, Stewart, & Joseph, 2008).”
It's the little things: Everyday gratitude as a booster shot for romantic relationships (2010, methodology): “Tsang (2006a) found that (perceived) intentions of the benefactor differentiated the emotional responses of gratitude and indebtedness: When the benefactor’s intentions were benevolent, participants believed they would feel more gratitude for a hypothetical benefit.”
Coping style as a psychological resource of grateful people. (2007, background): “Whilst there is considerable evidence regarding the pro–social basis of the grateful emotion (McCullough et al., 2001; Tesser et al., 1968; Tsang, 2006), the current study provides some of the earliest support for the pro–social basis of the grateful disposition (as suggested by McCullough et al.,…”
The impact of gratitude on depression and anxiety: the mediating role of criticizing, attacking, and reassuring the self (2016, background): “Gratitude, as an “other-oriented” process, has been found to promote prosocial behavior (Tsang, 2006) and improve relationships with others (Algoe, Fredrickson, & Gable, 2013; Williams & Bartlett, 2014).”
An Adaptation for Altruism (2008, background): “Bartlett and DeSteno (2006) found that participants in an experimentally induced state of gratitude voluntarily spent more time completing a boring survey as a favor to their benefactor than did participants in an amused emotional state (see also Tsang, 2006b).”
Gratitude, forgivingness, and well-being in adulthood: Tests of moderation and incremental prediction (2011, background): “…as being prosocial or moral in nature (McCullough, Kimeldorf, & Cohen, 2008) because grateful individuals are more likely to (a) assist their helper in the future (Tsang, 2006), (b) trust others (Dunn & Schweitzer, 2005), and (c) be more likely to help out strangers (Bartlett & DeSteno, 2006).”
Can Gratitude and Kindness Interventions Enhance Well-Being in a Clinical Sample? (2015, background): “2.1 Gratitude Gratitude is a positive emotional response to a perceived benefit bestowed by another (Emmons and Crumpler 2000; Emmons and McCullough 2003; Peterson and Seligman 2004; Tsang 2006).”
Witnessing excellence in action: the ‘other-praising’ emotions of elevation, gratitude, and admiration (2009, positive): “, 2001) seems to be that the recipient wants to return the favor to the benefactor, and effects of gratitude on repayment have been demonstrated in two recent behavioral studies (Bartlett & DeSteno, 2006; Tsang, 2006).”
