A randomized trial investigating the impact of response expectancy on the counting blessings intervention: the role of optimism as a moderator
Our findings emphasize the effectiveness of a brief gratitude journal and underscore the nuanced role of response expectancy, especially in interaction with the initial level of optimism, in enhancing positive emotions. These results hold significance for both theoretical understanding and clinical applications.
