  1. BRIEF REPORT Gratitude and prosocial behaviour: An experimental test of gratitude.Jo-Ann Tsang - 2006 - Cognition and Emotion 20 (1):138-148.
    McCullough, Kilpatrick, Emmons, and Larson (2001) posited that gratitude prompts individuals to behave prosocially. However, research supporting the prosocial effect of gratitude has relied on scenario and self-report methodology.
