The unique effects of hope and gratitude on psychological distress and well-being in trauma-exposed Hispanic/Latino adults.

Published in: Psychological trauma : theory, research, practice and policy (2023)

The current study found that hope and gratitude predicted resilience in trauma-exposed Hispanic/Latino young adults. Decreased levels of gratitude were a stronger predictor of psychological distress and subjective well-being than decreased levels of hope, but hope was a robust predictor of the three well-being domains. The findings of this study may lend support for the development of hope and gratitude interventions in a Hispanic/Latino population for the prevention of PTSD symptoms and anxiety symptoms via engendering higher levels of resilience.
