Operationalization

Students were randomly assigned to one of three conditions, for a period of 2 weeks.

A: Gratitude condition: "There are many things in our lives, both large and small, that we might be grateful about. Think back over the past day and write down on the lines below up to five things in your life that you are grateful or thankful for."

B: Hasless condition: " Hassles are irritants-things that annoy or bother you. They occur in various areas of life, including our family, friendships, school, health, and so on. Think back over the past day and, on the lines below, list up to five hassles that occurred in your life".

C: The control group just completed the measures.
