研究：感恩能讓你更長(zhǎng)壽

Experiencing gratitude is beneficial for physical health and emotional well-being, past research has shown. Now, a new study has found those who experience more gratitude also have a lower risk of dying. The report is the first to examine the effects of gratefulness on longevity, experts say.
以往的研究已經(jīng)表明，心懷感激能夠帶來(lái)身心的雙重益處。而現(xiàn)在，一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，那些常懷感恩之心的人，死亡風(fēng)險(xiǎn)也更低。據(jù)專(zhuān)家們稱(chēng)，這是首次有研究探討感激之情對(duì)壽命的影響。

The researchers used data from the Nurses’ Health Study, which included nearly 50,000 women between ages 69 and 96 who completed a six-item gratitude questionnaire in 2016. By asking participants to rank how strongly they agreed with statements such as “I have so much in life to be thankful for” and “I am grateful to a wide variety of people,” the research team was able to determine the percentage of women who had the highest and lowest feelings of gratitude.
這項(xiàng)研究利用了“護(hù)士健康研究”的數(shù)據(jù)，涵蓋了2016年參與六項(xiàng)感恩問(wèn)卷調(diào)查的近5萬(wàn)名69至96歲的女性。研究人員讓參與者對(duì)“我的生活中有很多值得感激的事物”和“我對(duì)許多人心存感激”等說(shuō)法的認(rèn)同程度進(jìn)行排序，從而確定了感恩情緒最高和最低的女性比例。

When the researchers reviewed the data three years later, they found the women who had the highest levels of gratitude experienced a 9% lower risk of death of any cause, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative disease, according to the study published July 3 in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.
三年后，當(dāng)研究人員回顧這些數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)那些感恩情緒最高的女性，因任何原因死亡的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低了9%，包括心血管疾病、癌癥和神經(jīng)退行性疾病等。這項(xiàng)研究結(jié)果發(fā)表在7月3日的《美國(guó)醫(yī)學(xué)會(huì)雜志·精神病學(xué)》上。

“It’s not completely surprising to me, just given what we know on the health benefits of positive emotions more generally, that a person’s disposition for gratitude might actually even lengthen their life,” said Dr. Philip Watkins, a professor of psychology at Eastern Washington University.
東華盛頓大學(xué)心理學(xué)教授菲利普·沃特金斯博士表示：“該結(jié)果并非完全令人驚訝，鑒于我們更廣泛地了解到積極情緒對(duì)健康的益處，一個(gè)感恩的人大概率會(huì)長(zhǎng)壽?！?br>
While the new study looked at people who are naturally more grateful, there are ways to practice having more gratitude on a day-to-day basis, said Dr. Emiliana Simon-Thomas, science director of the Greater Good Science Center — a research institute that studies the psychology, sociology, and neuroscience of well-being — at the University of California, Berkeley.
加州大學(xué)伯克利分校的大善科學(xué)中心是一家研究心理學(xué)、社會(huì)學(xué)和幸福感神經(jīng)科學(xué)的研究機(jī)構(gòu)，該中心的科學(xué)主任艾米莉亞娜·西蒙-托馬斯博士說(shuō)，雖然這項(xiàng)新研究關(guān)注的是天生心懷感恩的人，但有仍有一些方法能幫助人們?cè)谌粘Ｉ钪芯毩?xí)如何感恩。

There are three strategies Simon-Thomas recommends for those looking to implement more feelings of gratitude. First, keep a gratitude journal where you can write a few things you are grateful for, “whether it’s a washing machine in your home, or electric light, or the opportunity to go on a camping trip with friends — the list could go on.”
西蒙-托馬斯為那些想要表達(dá)更多感恩之情的人推薦了三個(gè)策略。首先是，寫(xiě)感恩日記，寫(xiě)下一些你感恩的事情，“無(wú)論是家里的洗衣機(jī)，還是電燈，或者和朋友一起去露營(yíng)的機(jī)會(huì)——這個(gè)清單可以繼續(xù)列下去。”

Another way to practice gratitude is by writing letters to others who have had a positive impact on your life; the sense of gratitude is even more pronounced when those letters are delivered to the other person, Simon-Thomas said.
另一種練習(xí)感恩的方法是給那些對(duì)你的生活有積極影響的人寫(xiě)信，西蒙-托馬斯表示，當(dāng)這些信件被轉(zhuǎn)交給另一個(gè)人時(shí)，感恩之情會(huì)更加明顯。

A third way to feel more gratitude is to be more specific when giving out thanks — when someone gets you a coffee to start your day, instead of just saying, “Thank you,” try to extend it to something like, “I really appreciate that you brought me a coffee today, I know you have a lot of other things to do … and I got a lot of stuff done, because you brought me back coffee,” Simon-Thomas said.
第三種表達(dá)感激之情的方法是在表達(dá)感謝時(shí)更加具體——當(dāng)有人給你一杯咖啡開(kāi)始你的一天時(shí)，不要只說(shuō)“謝謝”，而是試著擴(kuò)展一下，比如“我真的很感謝你今天給我?guī)Я艘槐Х?，我知道你還有很多其他的事情要做……因?yàn)槟銕臀規(guī)Я丝Х?，我完成了很多事情，”西?托馬斯說(shuō)。

Having more gratitude has also been linked to being more optimistic in general, and people who express higher levels of gratitude tend to look more for the good in life, Watkins added.
沃特金斯補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，心懷更多感恩之情的人通常也更樂(lè)觀，他們往往更能看到生活中的美好。
