Abstract
Participants reported gratitude and indebtedness in several formats. Women reported more gratitude and less indebtedness than men in response to benefit memories, and indebtedness was more closely associated with gratitude for men than women. Furthermore, correlations showed that gratitude was just as important to the well-being of men as women.
