Abstract
Appreciation predicts greater flourishing, beyond the contribution of the Big 5 personality factors. Appreciation accounted for 17.6% of the variance in flourishing, over-and-above the Big 5. Appreciation includes focusing on and valuing what one has, feeling awe, focusing on the present moment, gratitude to others, and valuing others.
