WELCOME and thank you for participating in the design of The Gratitude Scale. This scale explores the specific thoughts, feelings, and attitudes that you experience with the emotion of gratitude. Your participation is appreciated and will be a valuable contribution to an understanding of the dynamics of gratitude.



You will first be asked a few demographic questions. All information will remain anonymous and confidential. You will respond to a series of statements related to gratitude and then respond to items from the Personal Norm of Reciprocity Scale designed by Marco Perugini and Marcello Gallucci. Completing both surveys should take no more than 10 minutes of your time.



If you have any questions or concerns after completing the survey, do not hesitate to contact Patty Hlava, Ph.D. at patty.hlava@gmail.com or John Elfers, Ph.D. at johnelf@aol.com.
