Gratitude Questionnaire

The Gratitude Questionnaire-Six (GQ-6), developed by McCullough, Emmons, and Tsang in 2002, is a 6-item measure of dispositional gratitude—the tendency to recognize and appreciate the good in one's life. Operationalizing gratitude as a stable personality trait (not just a momentary feeling), the GQ-6 assesses the capacity to notice, appreciate, and be thankful for life's blessings. Research shows that dispositional gratitude predicts well-being, life satisfaction, relationship quality, and resilience independent of personality and optimism.
