Abstract
This study examined the association between gratitude and social behaviors in a sample of 877 adolescents in South Korea. Participants completed measures of gratitude, social support, prosocial behavior, and problem behavior scales. Gratitude had an influence on both prosocial and problem behaviors through social support as a mediating factor. Gender differences were found in the relationships between gratitude and problem behaviors. The current findings imply that supporting young people in early adolescence to have an enhanced level of gratitude and perceived social support may potentially be an effective educational intervention method. Implications and future directions are discussed.
