Research on the science of gratitude continues to accelerate rapidly. However, questions still remain: What are the functions of gratitude in the economy of human social behavior? What mechanisms are involved in the expression and detection of gratitude? Experiments and recent neuroimaging studies offer important clues as to why gratitude matters, how it works, and how we can collectively capitalize on its promise and potential.
Robert Emmons is Professor of Psychology at UC Davis. His research on gratitude and happiness has been featured in dozens of popular media outlets including the New York Times, USA Today, U.S. News and World.
