감사일지 작성이 주관적 안녕감, 자기 존중감, 자기 효능감, 감사성향 및 신체 심리적 건강에 미치는 효과 = The Effect of Keeping an Appreciation Journal on Subjective Well-Being, Self-Esteem, Self-Efficacy, Gratitude Disposition, and Physical/Mental Health

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explored the values and effect of keeping an appreciation journal on subjective well-being, self-esteem, self-efficacy, gratitude disposition, and physical/mental health. A total of 192 female adults were randomly allocated to one of the three groups: experiment group, comparative group and control group. The experiment group kept an appreciation journal and the comparative group kept a stress journal for two weeks and the control group did not do any. The three groups took the satisfaction with life scale, PANAS, self-esteem scale, self-efficacy scale, GQ-6, and physical/mental health scale at pre-test, post-test, and one-month follow-up test. It was found that the experiment group showed a significant increase in the satisfaction with life, self-esteem, GQ-6, and physical/mental health on the post-test. The group also showed a significant decrease in the positive and negative affect and no significant difference in the self-efficacy. In the experiment group, the decreased negative affect and the increased physical/mental health were maintained at the one-month follow-up. In the comparative group and control group, no significant difference in the satisfaction with life, negative affect, self-esteem, self-efficacy, GQ-6, and physical/mental health was found. However, only positive affect in the comparative group was significantly decreased between the pre-test and post-test. Based on the results, the authors mentioned the implications, limitations of study and suggestions for further studies.
