RESUMEN
Se analiza la probable relación entre gratitud, medida por la Escala de gratitud desarrollada por Alarcón y la felicidad, medida por la Escala de felicidad de Lima, ambas desarrolladas por el mismo autor. El estudio es de tipo sustantivo, con un diseño transeccional causal predictivo en el que participaron 300 personas, 147 varones y 153 mujeres, con edades entre 20 y 30 años, que se encuentran estudiando en universidades públicas y privadas de Lima Metropolitana. Entre los principales resultados observamos que los factores de la gratitud, reciprocidad y obligación moral correlacionan positiva y significativamente con la felicidad (r = .294, p < .01; r = .293, p < .01), así como con los factores sentido positivo de la vida, satisfacción con la vida y realización personal de la Escala de felicidad. El agradecer el beneficio recibido y la satisfacción que esto conlleva tiende a estar relacionado con actitudes y experiencias positivas hacia la vida, satisfacción por lo que se ha alcanzado y la autosuficiencia y tranquilidad emocional. Cualidad sentimental se relaciona positiva y significativamente con la felicidad (r = .218, p < .05) y con satisfacción con la vida. Entre la gratitud y la felicidad no se observan diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre varones y mujeres. Para determinar cuál o cuáles de los factores de la gratitud predicen mejor la felicidad, se ha realizado un análisis de regresión múltiple, identificando que la variable reciprocidad explica el 8.7 % de la varianza total de la variable felicidad. En conclusión, se observa que gratitud y felicidad correlacionan positiva y significativamente (r=.318, p < .01).
ABSTRACT
Probable relationship between gratitude, as measured by the Scale developed by Alarcón gratitude and happiness, as measured by the Scale of Happiness Lima, is analyzed both developed by the same autor. The study is substantive in nature, with a predictive causal trans design in which 300 people, 147 males and 153 females, aged between 20 and 30 who are studying in public and private universities in Lima. Among the main results we note that the factors of gratitude, reciprocity and moral obligation positively and significantly correlated with happiness (r = .294, p < .01; r = .293, p < .01), as well as factors positive sense of life, life satisfaction and fulfillment of happiness scale. The benefit received thanks and satisfaction that entails tends to be related to positive experiences and attitudes towards life, satisfaction with what has been achieved and self-reliance and emotional tranquility. Emotional quality is positively and significantly associated with happiness (r = .218, p < .05) and satisfaction with life. Between gratitude and happiness no statistically significant differences between men and women are observed. To determine which of the factors best predict Gratitude happiness, there has been a multiple regression analysis, identifying varying reciprocity explains 8.7% of the total variance of the happiness variable. In conclusion, it appears that gratitude and happiness positively and significantly correlated (r = .318, p < .01).
