Abstract in brief
- The study tested different online positive psychology exercises—like gratitude letters, self-compassion writing, and best-possible self exercises—on 432 German adults to see how they impact feelings like optimism and gratitude.
- Results showed that the best-possible self exercise increased optimism, while gratitude letters boosted gratitude, but self-compassion writing didn't have a notable effect. All exercises increased positive thoughts about oneself.
- Factors like trait gratitude and emotional awareness didn't influence how participants responded, and future research should explore more diverse exercises to find stronger effects.]
