Gratitude, forgivingness, and well-being in adulthood: Tests of moderation and incremental prediction (2011, background): “With respect to the satisfaction with life, the strength of the relation between gratitude and this variable has been demonstrated by work that shows this correlation holds even when controlling for multiple other predictors (Wood et al., 2008).”

(2008) showed that gratitude has an unique relationship with satisfaction with life.”
A Test of Two Positive Psychology Interventions to Increase Employee Well-Being (2014, background): “Among the most impressive findings in this literature is that gratitude could explain 20 % of the variance in satisfaction with life after controlling for facets and domains associated with the Big Five personality traits (Wood et al. 2008).”
Attributing autonomous versus introjected motivation to helpers and the recipient experience: Effects on gratitude, attitudes, and well-being (2010, background): “Such experiences facilitate positive outcomes both in and out of the helping relationship; in particular, promoting a general sense of happiness (McCullough et al. 2002; Walker and Pitts 1998) and life satisfaction (McCullough et al. 2002; Wood et al. 2008 ), as well as short-term experiences of ph”
