Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to analyze the effects of a psychological intervention to promote wellbeing. To do so, a brief intervention is developed to enhance a sense of gratitude through a multiple baseline across components design. Traditional measures will be used together with the incorporation of a novel evaluation methodology such as the EMA, which allows the collection of data in the context of people's daily lives and at different specific times, that is, in real time.

Psychological intervention for the promotion of gratitude

A brief intervention protocol has been developed for the promotion of gratitude. The protocol is manualized and the content will be explained to each participant in the videoconference sessions, and a copy of the manual will be given (or sent) to the patients at the end of the therapy sessions.

1. Psychoeducation about gratitude and its effects on health (both physical and psychological).
2. Gratitude towards life:

1. Gratitude walk
2. Three positive things
3. Sharing gratitude
3. Social gratitude:

1. Daily thanks to others
2. Gratitude letter
3. Proof of gratitude
4. Self-gratitude: this part includes an exercise aimed at fostering self-gratitude in three different areas:

1. Gratitude for the things I do to take care of my physical health.
2. Gratitude for what I do to take care of my mental health, my self-esteem and my personal development.
