And the second paper is: Supervisors’ Gratitude and Employees’ Feelings About Their Supervisor and Organization Emma J. McKeon , Kayla M. Trumbull , and Jennifer L. Hughes Department of Psychology, Agnes Scott College... ABSTRACT: A 2012 survey by the John Templeton Foundation found that a majority of employees said they would feel better about themselves and that they would work harder for a supervisor who was more grateful (Kaplan, 2012). These findings prompted the present study in which we investigated whether employees’ perceptions of their supervisors’ expressed gratitude were predictors of employees’ perceived organizational support, perceived supervisor support, affective organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. We used MTurk to recruit participants and they took online surveys. Using data from 278 respondents, we ran a series of linear regressions. We found that the perception of gratitude expressed by a direct supervisor positively predicted perceived organizational support ( = .64, p = .001, adjusted R2 = .41), perceived supervisor support ( = .82, p = .001, adjusted R2 = .67), affective organizational commitment ( = .62, p = .001, adjusted R2 = .38), and job satisfaction ( = .50, p = .001, adjusted R2 = .25). Our results imply that supervisors who express gratitude could increase employees’ positive feelings about their workplace and supervisors.

Two papers were published today by Scotties. This is the first one. Using Chapman’s Five Love Languages Theory to Predict Love and Relationship Satisfaction Jennifer L. Hughes and Abigail A. Camden Department of Psychology, Agnes Scott College... ABSTRACT: Chapman (2015) proposed a popular love language theory about couples’ communication of love. For the present study, we predicted that partners who perceived that their partner used their preferred love language well would report greater feelings of love and relationship satisfaction. We expected this would be the same for both women and men, as well as those in heterosexual and gay relationships. We recruited 981 individuals in couples to complete online surveys. Using multiple regression, we found support for our hypothesis that a partner’s perception that their partner was using their preferred love language well would increase love (i.e., words of affirmation R2 = .26, quality time R2 = .23, gifts R2 = .17, acts of service R2 = .25, and physical touch R2 = .24) and relationship satisfaction (i.e., words of affirmation R2 = .32, quality time R2 = .24, gifts R2 = .11, acts of service R2 = .20, and physical touch R2 = 24). Unexpectedly, we found that women who thought their partners were using their preferred love language (i.e., gifts, acts of service, and physical touch) well reported greater feelings of love as compared to men. This research provided some support for teaching people in romantic relationships how to learn and use their partner’s preferred love languages well. In addition, partners should be taught to recognize when their partners are attempting to use their preferred love language because this could lead to increased feelings of love and relationship satisfaction.
