In middle school students, a higher level of gratitude was linked to a higher level of purpose (Malin, Liauw, & Damon, 2017).

Gratitude was linked to a number of positive aspects of development in young adolescents, including satisfaction with one’s family, optimism, and prosocial behavior (Froh, Yurkewicz, & Kashdan, 2009).

Adolescents’ expression of gratitude was linked to having fewer depressive symptoms (Lambert, Fincham, & Stillman, 2012).

A longitudinal study assessed the gratitude of adolescents at 10 to 14 years of age (Bono, 2012). Four years after the initial assessment, the most grateful adolescents (top 20 percent) had a stronger sense of the meaning of life, were more satisfied with their life, were happier and more hopeful, had a lower level of negative emotions, and were less depressed than the least grateful students (bottom 20 percent).
