Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the four groups, and those in the intervention groups will: 1. Complete a pre-test questionnaire (for some groups) on their current level of Gratitude and Psychological Wellbeing. 2. Perform the Three Good Things (3GT) intervention by writing down three positive things that happened each day for 7 consecutive days. 3. Complete a post-test questionnaire to measure the final level of Gratitude and Psychological Wellbeing.
