Abstract

Zahvalnost se definira kao osjećaj na dobronamjerno ponašanje, odnosno dar druge osobe, usmjeren prema toj osobi. Kao takva ugodna emocija, prisutna je u svim segmentima čovjekova života te je jedan od preduvjeta za ostvarivanje vlastite dobrobiti. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u zahvalnost studenata i osjećaje koje zahvalnost i iskazivanje zahvalnosti izazivaju te dobiti informacije o iskustvu provedbe intervencije zahvalnosti. Istraživanje je provedeno na 12 studenata, koji su trebali napisati pismo zahvalnosti te ga predati odabranoj osobi, nakon čega je slijedio intervju s pitanjima osmišljenim ciljano za ovo istraživanje a njihovi odgovori kategorizirani su i analizirani prema učestalosti. Iskazivanje zahvalnosti izazvalo je ugodne i neugodne emocije kod sudionika, ali su one ugodne prevladavale tijekom svih dijelova aktivnosti. Na međuljudske odnose intervencija zahvalnosti utjecala je pozitivno s primijećenim učestalijim kontaktom nakon aktivnosti. Za sve sudionike iskustvo provođenja aktivnost bilo je pozitivno i korisno.

Abstract (english)

Gratitude is defined as a feeling caused by a reaction to someone's kind-hearted behavior or a gift from someone, directed towards that person. This pleasant emotion is present in all areas of one’s life and is one of the prerequisites for realizing one’s own well-being. The aim of this research paper was to gain insight into gratitude among students and the feelings that gratitude and showing gratitude cause, as well as to gather information about the experience of conducting gratitude intervention. The research was conducted on a sample of 12 students that were required to write a letter of gratitude and give it to the person of their choice, which was followed by an interview containing questions that were designed specifically for the purpose of this research paper. The students’ answers were categorized and analyzed according to frequency. Expressing gratitude caused both pleasant and unpleasant emotions among the participants, but the pleasant ones prevailed during all parts of the activity. Gratitude intervention had a positive effect on interpersonal relationships, with more frequent contact observed after the activity. All of the research participants found the experience of conducting the activity positive and beneficial.
