Abstrakt
Interwencje psychologii pozytywnej są przedmiotem wielu badań naukowych skupiających się na poszukiwaniu sposobów zwiększania dobrostanu psychicznego ludzi. Jedną z takich interwencji jest rozwijanie wdzięczności. Treningi rozwijania wdzięczności mogą być prowadzone zarówno profilaktycznie, jak i terapeutycznie. W tym artykule autorka odwołuje się do najnowszej literatury światowej, przywołując wyniki badań eksperymentalnych potwierdzających istnienie korzyści związanych z rozwijaniem wdzięczności w życiu codziennym, zarówno dla zdrowia fizycznego, psychicznego, jak i społecznego. Przedstawia propozycję ujęcia takich interwencji terapeutycznych w programie zajęć socjoterapeutycznych dla dzieci i młodzieży. Wdrożenie interwencji opartych na wdzięczności, będącej jednym z mechanizmów leżących u podstaw odporności na agresję i przemoc, może przynieść zdecydowane korzyści dla dobrostanu psychicznego i relacji społecznych wśród młodych uczestników socjoterapii.
