ABSTRACT

Counting blessings is one of the gratitude intervention methods to promote gratitude and subjective well-being (SWB). This study aimed to examine whether counting blessings could effectively promote SWB in prisoners and test whether the effect was mediated by gratitude and satisfaction of basic psychological needs (BPN). A total of 124 male prisoners wrote either grateful things or a control topic. The results demonstrated that counting blessings were associated with significant increase in gratitude, partially increases in satisfaction of BPN, and slightly increase SWB at the post-intervention assessment. Additionally, gratitude and satisfaction of BPN mediated the effect of counting blessings on SWB.

摘要

计数祝福是促进感恩和主观幸福感（SWB）的感恩干预方法之一。本研究旨在检验计数祝福是否能有效促进囚犯的 SWB，并检验该效果是否由感恩和基本心理需求满足 (BPN) 介导。共有 124 名男犯写了感恩的事情或控制话题。结果表明，计算祝福与感恩的显着增加、BPN 满意度的部分增加以及干预后评估的 SWB 略有增加有关。此外，对 BPN 的感激和满意度调节了计算祝福对 SWB 的影响。
