Abstract

With the emergence of positive psychology at the turn of the century a greater focus has been centered on understanding and improving individual well-being. Various techniques, including gratitude journaling, have been shown to reframe individual perspective and promote well-being. Theories and studies have shown that relationships are a key component of happiness, but techniques to aid participants in reframing towards a relational perspective have been absent to date. This study tests the technique of relational journaling and its effect on participant well-being against daily event and gratitude journaling.
