感恩干预措施被认为是改善无数积极成果的有益做法，并在自助文学中得到推广。本研究采用元分析技术，综合38项研究的结果，共282个效应量，对感恩干预的效果进行了研究。五十六项独立的荟萃分析检查了干预后和延迟随访时感恩与中立比较、干预后和延迟随访时感恩与消极比较、干预后和延迟随访时感恩与积极比较的结果影响。结果表明，感恩干预可以改善许多结果，包括幸福，但不会影响其他人。其独特的好处可能在文献中被过分强调。
Gratitude interventions have been proposed as beneficial practices for improving myriad positive outcomes, and are promoted in self-help literature. The current work examined gratitude interventions' effects with meta-analytic techniques to synthesize findings of thirty-eight studies, totaling 282 effect sizes. Fifty-six separate meta-analyses examined outcome effects for: gratitude versus neutral comparison at postintervention and delayed follow-up; gratitude versus negative comparison at post and follow-up; and gratitude versus positive comparison at post and follow-up. Results show that gratitude interventions can lead to improvements for numerous outcomes, including happiness, but do not influence others. Their unique benefits may be overemphasized in the literature.
