Letter of Appreciation @ Study find people underestimate the value of sending a “Thank You Note”


Letter of Appreciation @ Study find people underestimate the value of sending a “Thank You Note”

Saying ‘thanks’ is more powerful than you think

In the study “Undervaluing Gratitude: Expressers Misunderstand the Consequences of Showing Appreciation”, Chicago Booth professor Nicholas Epley and University of Texas at Austin’s Amit Kumar discovered a wide gap between how little senders think their letters of gratitude will affect the recipient and the high level of happiness the recipients feel upon reading the letter. “There’s so much talk in the world—both in academic literature and in the popular press—that expressing gratitude is good for you,” said Kumar, a post-doctoral researcher at Booth at the time of the research. “But that doesn’t seem to line up with how often people are actually articulating their appreciation in daily life. So, we wanted to find out what are the barriers holding people back?”
