20世纪60年代积极心理学的兴起使得感戴成为重要研究領域。感戴( gratitude)源于拉丁字根 gratia,意为“优雅、高尚、感谢”。"目前国内外对感戴的定义尚未形成统一看法,研究者试图把感戴看成一种情绪、态度、高尚的道德、习惯、人格特质、处理事情的反应和情感特质等。Rosenberg认为感戴是一种情感特质,即设定某种情绪状态发生的阈限值,能够对某类情绪反应具有稳定的预测作用。Watkins等认为感戴是一种人格特质。
国外研究表明,高感戴者健康水平也越高,并体验着更强烈而持久的幸福感。 Emmons和Kneezel将感戴视为情绪和精神功能健康的表征。Bono和 Mccullough认为,感戴可以使个体保持精神上平和,更易快乐,并与各种负性情绪和病理状态相抵触,能够预防精神障碍和疾病的发生。Laird等研究发现,在风湿性关节炎患者中,习惯于感載的个体较少体验到抑郁、焦虑。感戴有利于提高身心健康和幸福感,开感戴研究,有利于为中年人建立起高质量的生活提供依据。
