• Review of Brief School-Based Positive Psychological Interventions: a Taster for Teachers and Educators (2017, background): “With regards to gratitude, a recent critique has been raised as to how PPIs tend to focus on the effects (the aim being to enhance student well-being; e.g., Froh et al. 2014) rather than on the intrinsic value of gratitude.”
• Joy is a distinct positive emotion: Assessment of joy and relationship to gratitude and well-being (2018, methodology): “One way to promote joy would be to use interventions similar to those designed to encourage trait gratitude (e.g. Froh et al., 2014).”
• Using Gratitude to Promote Positive Change: A Series of Meta-Analyses Investigating the Effectiveness of Gratitude Interventions (2017, background): “…educational component, with one or more teacher- or therapist-led group sessions going beyond the simple gratitude induction (e.g., Callaghan, 2015; Froh et al., 2014; Henderson, 2010; Rye et al., 2012) were left out, as I focused on individual-led interventions that could be generally completed…”
• SEARCH: A Meta-Framework and Review of the Field of Positive Education (2019, background): “In both studies, students also scored higher on grateful thinking after the gratitude intervention than at baseline (Froh et al. 2014).”
• Gratitude predicts hope and happiness: A two-study assessment of traits and states (2019, background): “These include counting blessings (e.g. Emmons & McCullough, 2003), gratitude letters (e.g. Lyubomirsky, Dickerhoof, Boehm, & Sheldon, 2011), gratitude group sessions in schools (e.g. Froh et al., 2014), and gratitude diary writing in a clinical sample (Kerr, O’Donovan, & Pepping, 2015).”
