Przeszkody i strategie rozwoju wdzięczności w świetle współczesnych badań psychologicznych

Abstract

Although giving and receiving is a universal human experience which transcends culture, religion and ethnicity, it is only recently that research has begun on the subject of gratitude. This article seeks to analyze gratitude from the perspective of modem psychological research. Specifically, it examines obstacles to expressing gratitude and suggests strategies to enhance it. Research clearly confirms the important role played by gratitude in many areas of life, especially with regard to well-being, health, coping with stress, and cultivating pro-social attitudes. It is very important to know what contributes to disturbances in experiencing and expressing gratitude, as well as factors that enhance it.
