You will write a 2500-word report using the report writing conventions of the APA manual 7* Edition - you will find guidance on wiling research reports on the My Assessment tab. (Background) There has been a lot of interest in how we can improve psychological well-being through various interventions. One idea that has been suggested is the use of gratitude journals - these encourage the person to reflect on their day and focus on the things that went well or the things they are grateful for. This aims to then improve the person's subjective well-being, which has been considered to encompass three core factors: positive emotion, negative emotion, and life satisfaction. As such, the Satisfaction with Life scale has been used previously to measure subjective well-being. Your task is lo analyse the provided data and write a quantitative research report answering the following research question: Is there a difference in subjective wellbeing in people who write gratitude journals and those who don't? Following your report you will consider how you could extend this research with a qualitative study.
