The importance of basic positive traits and gratitude in the professional activity
Journal Title: Теорія і практика сучасної психології - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue
Abstract
The article compares multiple regression models, in which the independent variables are basic positive personality traits, and the criterion variable is gratitude, as well as stress reactions. It is indicated that since gratitude is an essential aspect of the subjective quality of a person’s life, this makes the study of gratitude and other positive features in a person’s professional activity relevant. A sample of 136 people consisting of two subsamples of participants of the drum and dance ensemble (n = 61) and economists (n = 75) was studied. The Ukrainian translations of Positive Personality Traits Questionnaire (PPTQ), Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) and Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) were used. It has been determined that gratitude is an element of a system of positive personality traits for persons of creative specialties, acts as a realization of an outward/people orientation, whereas for economists gratitude is implemented as commitment to a certain community and cultural identification, with reduction of positive self-image. The differences in the effects that create basic positive personality traits on the emotional and cognitive reactions to stress among representatives of creative and economic specialties are revealed.
