Part of the School of Behavioral Health's Spiritual Integration Hour series, Dr. David Newman, Assistant Professor of Psychology, presents on gratitude. Gratitude is a social emotion, and a growing body of research has distinguished gratitude expressed to other people and gratitude expressed to a higher power/God. In this talk, Dr. Newman presents a series of studies that measure these two forms of gratitude in people's daily lives and show their distinct correlates with well-being.
The Spiritual Integration Hour's intended audience is the Loma Linda University community of behavioral health clinicians and scholars, and is broadly centered on the integration of faith/religion/spirituality and the social sciences. It is a mix of presentation and discussion, and is sponsored by the School of Behavioral Health.
