Relación entre la gratitud y la satisfacción con la vida en una muestra de Estudiantes Españoles: El papel moderador del género.
Resumen
El presente estudio pretende examinar la relación entre la gratitud y la satisfacción vital en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios españoles. En esta investigación se utilizó la escala de Gratitud (GQ-6; McCullough et al., 2002) y la escala de Satisfacción con la vida (SWLS; Diener et al., 1985). Los datos, del análisis de regresión lineal, mostraron que la gratitud predice la satisfacción con la vida (en el bienestar físico y psicológico). Por otro lado, en la relación entre ambos términos, se encontraron diferencias de género. Al final del trabajo, se exponen unas conclusiones y, también, se discuten las limitaciones del presente estudio.Descargas
