Gratitude interventions decrease depression, stress and anxiety symptoms. It also aids in coping with health-related problems and may improve psychological and physical functioning in areas where mental and biological processes are directly related (e.g., the cardiovascular system).  However, previous research in this area is limited to a few studies examining the impact of only one type of gratitude task (i.e., gratitude journaling on selected psychological and cardiovascular variables). 

Thus, we have developed a new intervention technique, the GIA app, to examine whether a gratitude intervention can effectively improve psychological and cardiovascular functioning as measured by depression, anxiety and stress symptoms, positive and negative affect, resting heart rate and HRV. 

Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all app users is our main priority; to find out more about how the information is collected from the app and how we protect your privacy and confidentiality please click the link: GIA Privacy Policy
