Validation of the Arabic version of the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-4) in a sample of non-clinical adults
The Arabic adaptation of the GQ showed good psychometric qualities, suggesting that it is suitable for measuring people's disposition toward gratitude in Arab backgrounds. Offering the Arabic GQ-4 as a brief, simple, cost-effective, valid, and reliable measure of gratitude to the Arabic-speaking community could help raise awareness about gratitude as a key component for achieving good mental health and wellbeing in Arab contexts.
