Seeking collaborators for the Global Gratitude Project (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bnjI7w9OmP7WggdSx302dC-FJGPFUjK3asrZs3UDB18/edit?usp=sharing) With funding from the John Templeton Foundation (https://www.templeton.org/news/is-gratitude-universal) , Shige Oishi, Nicholas Coles, and Michael McCullough are seeking potential collaborators for a PSA-Affiliated cross-cultural examination of online, 30-minute, single-session gratitude interventions on subjective well-being. This will include both (1) standardized gratitude interventions traditionally developed and validated in WEIRD samples, and (2) localized (e.g., culturally tailored) gratitude interventions that collaborators might design if they so choose.
