WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) Test

positive psychology

This brief self-report measure assesses dispositional gratitude as a relatively stable tendency to notice, appreciate, and respond to positive aspects of life and support from others. The Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) is commonly used in clinical and research settings to characterize an individual’s gratitude-related attitudes and experiences.

The instrument includes 6 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements about the frequency and intensity of grateful feelings, supporting interpretation as an index of trait-like gratitude. Developed by Michael E. McCullough and Jo-Ann Tsang, the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) may be used to inform case formulation, monitor change over time, or examine associations between gratitude and psychosocial functioning.
