Gratitude intervention is an intervention method that utilizes specific gratitude strategies to positively impact the well-being of the target population(or mitigate negative impacts).As a crucial approach in positive psychological intervention,the effectiveness of gratitude intervention is a primary concern for researchers.Fundamentally,the effectiveness of gratitude intervention requires confirmation through various valid gratitude intervention research results.However,there is skepticism about whether current gratitude intervention studies are effective at all stages of implementation.Therefore,this paper provides a certain analysis and reflection on the effectiveness of current research on gratitude intervention from three aspects:the logic of achieving intervention goals,the alignment of strategy selection,and the influencing factors of intervention implementation.In addition,exploring the intrinsic mechanisms that facilitate the effectiveness of gratitude intervention,enriching the pathway model of gratitude intervention from an interactive perspective,exploring the applicable boundaries of gratitude intervention,and studying the patterns of gratitude intervention in the Chinese cultural context are all future directions to enhance the effectiveness of gratitude intervention research.
