Meaning making enhances gratitude to God
Thanks Be to God
Gratitude is a pivotal concept in the psychology of religion because it is one of the most frequently experienced emotions toward God. The authors developed a trait measure of Gratitude to God (GTG-T) and investigated the association between Gratitude to God and psychological and spiritual well-being in four studies. Study 1 provided evidence for the validity of the GTG-T as Gratitude to God was associated with overall well-being and predicted in…

Gratitude to God Predicts Religious Well-Being over Time
The authors used a prospective design to investigate how gratitude to God predicts religious well-being over time. Gratitude to God is a central aspect of monotheistic religions, and thus may be particularly important to the religious/spiritual well-being of believers. Participants completed online measures of trait and state gratitude to God, along with spiritual well-being, nearness to God, and religious commitment scales over a one-to-two-mont…
Promoting Gratitude as a Resource for Sustainable Mental Health
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of a 6-week gratitude intervention for people with low to moderate well-being and moderate symptomatology of depression and anxiety up to 6 months follow-up. 217 Dutch adults were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a 6-week gratitude intervention, a 6-week self-kindness intervention as an active control condition and a waitlist control condition. Participants completed online asse…

Measuring gratitude in youth
Before the developmental trajectory, outcomes, and related interventions of gratitude can be accurately and confidently studied among the youth, researchers must ensure that they have psychometrically sound measures of gratitude that are suitable for this population. Thus, considering that no known scales were specifically designed to measure gratitude in youth, this study aimed to answer an important question: Are the existing gratitude scales u…
The debt of gratitude
We investigated the relationship between the emotional states of gratitude and indebtedness in two studies. Although many have suggested that these affects are essentially equivalent, we submit that they are distinct emotional states. Following Heider (1958), we propose that with increasing expectations of return communicated with a gift by a benefactor, indebtedness should increase but gratitude should decrease. The results of two vignette studi…
Gratitude and Happiness
The purpose of these studies was to develop a valid measure of trait gratitude, and to evaluate the relationship of gratitude to subjective well-being (SWB). Four studies were conducted evaluating the reliability and validity of the Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test (GRAT), a measure of dispositional gratitude. This measure was shown to have good internal consistency and temporal stability. The GRAT was shown to relate positively to vari…

Finding Time
This paper details data obtained from research into the setting up of representative committees in state schools in Victoria, Australia. The aim of the research was focused on how successfully these new administrative structures were operating. However, during the conduct of the research project and when analysing the data later, it became obvious that temporal factors were a major consideration in the minds of the great majority of teachers. The…

The Transformation of Educational Administration
The period after 1982, when the Labor Party came to power in Victoria, saw a change in the underlying rhetoric dealing with educational administration. Initially, through a series of six ministerial papers, the administration of education was couched in terms of grass-roots decision making, collaboration and participation. However, in the second half of the 1980s, a new series of documents sought to implement a corporate management approach. This…
Agenda, power and text
The implementation and development of school councils as a major source of policy formulation and decision making within the educational administration structure has been a major tenet of the Labor Government in Victoria. The central philosophy underpinning this government policy is embodied in Ministerial Paper 4, School Councils. In order to examine whether this policy had become a reality the Social and Administrative Studies group at Deakin U…
Regional Boards of Education
This article examines the data gathered during research into the formation of a regional board of education in Victoria, Australia. Two of the issues which arose over the 12‐month research period and which were extensively commented on during the second round of interviews are explored. The first issue relates to the frustration experienced by, especially, the elected representatives who had joined under the banner of collaborative and participat…
Reassessing the Work-Experience Bandwagon
This paper examines the tensions which exist between the hopes employers have that school based work‐experience programmes will result in students being more attuned to the demands of the world of work and the reality of the contested nature of the workplace. Against the backdrop of recent literature which advocates “jumping off” the work‐experience bandwagon, the paper examines employer hopes and expectations for work‐experience programmes. Whil…
Student participant‐observation in the contested workplace
The study discussed in this paper examines the views on the workplace of year 11 students from an Australian metropolitan post‐primary school before and after they went out of the school into the workplace for two weeks work experience. One of the themes which emerged from the discussions with the students was related to the degree of control exerted by employers on employees and the oppositional response which is sometimes forthcoming from those…
