    感謝の日記をつけることで学生の学業へのモチベーションが高まることが示された最新の研究。 毎日感謝することを5つリストアップする日記を2週間続けたところ、そうでないグループに比べて大幅に学業へのモチベーションが向上していた。 効果は3ヶ月後も継続していた。 https://t.co/n59rAvy36I https://t.co/hJkFEgXCtO

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study explored how a 2-week online gratitude journal intervention affected university students' academic motivation, finding that those who practiced gratitude showed significant improvements, mainly due to reduced feelings of amotivation.
  • Students were divided into two groups: one that logged gratitude statements daily and a control group that did daily self-evaluations, with motivation measured at multiple points before, immediately after, and months later.
  • Results suggest that regularly practicing gratitude can boost academic motivation in university students, with positive effects lasting at least a few months, highlighting the potential benefits of gratitude exercises for academic success.
