Investigating the Relationship Between Expressing Gratitude and Social Desirability Bias

Abstract

This research aims to investigates the relationship between expressing gratitude and social desirability bias. Social desirability bias refers to the tendency of individuals to react in a manner that is viewed favorably by others, rather than providing authentic responses. The study will explore whether individuals who frequently express gratitude are more likely to exhibit social desirability bias in their behavior and responses. The research will involve surveying participants to assess their levels of gratitude expression and social desirability bias, and analyzing the data to determine if a significant relationship exists between the two variables. The outcomes of this study will contribute to our understanding of how expressing gratitude may influence social behavior and perceptions.
