Frequently asked questions

What is the GQ-6?

The Gratitude Questionnaire-Six Item Form (GQ-6) was developed by McCullough, Emmons, and Tsang (2002). It is the most widely used validated measure of dispositional gratitude in psychological research, measuring the frequency and intensity of grateful feelings.

Why does gratitude matter?

Research consistently shows that gratitude is one of the strongest predictors of well-being. Grateful people report higher life satisfaction, more positive emotions, better sleep, stronger relationships, and greater resilience. Regular gratitude practice can literally rewire your brain for positivity.

How can I cultivate more gratitude?

Evidence-based methods include: keeping a daily gratitude journal (writing 3 things you are thankful for), writing gratitude letters to people who have helped you, practicing mindful appreciation during everyday activities, and expressing thanks to others more frequently.
