What do different people in our home feel grateful for this week?
For the Kindness section, this study offers a way to examine gratitude reported by parents and children alongside family functioning.
Who was studied?
310 Chinese parent-child pairs in a community sample
Age / stage: Parents and children
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate gratitude reported by parents and children alongside family functioning?
- Whose report describes the parent, the child and the outcome, and where might those reports differ?
- Were parents’ and children’s gratitude scores related in the same way to each person’s own distress?
Keep the limits in view
Gratitude and mood were rated by participants in a Chinese community sample. Shared family context may influence both.
