Scale
name: Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test-Short Form (GRAT-S)
Scale
overview: The short
form of the Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test (GRAT-S) is a
self-report measure, which consists of 16 items assessing trait gratitude.
The
original GRAT scale by Watkins et al. (2003) consisted of 44 items rated on a
five-point scale of agreement. The 16-item short form (GRAT-S) was used by
Watkins et al. (2017) in a study about joy and gratitude.
Response
Type: The 16 items
are rated on a 9-point scale of agreement from 1 = I strongly disagree to 9 = I
strongly agree with the statement.
Sample Scale
items
1. I
couldn't have gotten where I am today without the help of many people.
6. I really
don't think that I've gotten all the good things that I deserve in life.
(Reverse score)
Reliability: Watkins et al. (2017) reported
GRAT-S Cronbach’s
alpha = .84.
Validity: The GRAT-S was positively
correlated with the State Joy
Scale and the Dispositional
Joy Scale (Watkins et al., 2017).
Availability:
The short
form was available this date from the Berkeley Greater Good Science Center. https://ggsc.berkeley.edu/images/uploads/Gratitude_Resentment_and_Appreciation_Scale.pdf
Trait Gratitude
and Wholistic Assessment
As a
personality trait, gratitude may be viewed as a facet of observable behavior
patterns (O) in the
SCOPES model. As measured on the GRAT-S, the trait appears to have
attendant dimensions of cognition (C ) and emotion (E). See measures related to
SCOPES in Creating Surveys (Sutton, 2021).
