This study aimed to identify the relationship between grateful disposition and the subjective happiness of young adults; it examined a sequential double mediating effect model of social support and positive interpretation on this relationship. The study participants included 389 male and female Korean young adults. The Korean version of Gratitude Questionnaire-6, a modified subscale of the SU Mental Health Test, Iverson et al.'s scale for social support, and the Subjective Happiness Scale were used. PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 6 was used to analyze the double mediating effect. The correlation analysis showed that grateful disposition was positively correlated with social support, positive interpretation, and subjective happiness in young adults. Moreover, social support was positively correlated with positive interpretation and subjective happiness, whereas positive interpretation was positively correlated with subjective happiness. In addition, the sequential mediating effect of social support and positive interpretation on grateful disposition and the subjective happiness of young adults was significant. This study confirmed the determinant roles of social support and positive interpretation in grateful disposition and the subjective happiness of young adults, providing useful information for planning future studies and developing education materials and interventions for cultivating grateful disposition in childhood and promoting happiness in young adults.
本研究旨在确定感恩性格与年轻人主观幸福感之间的关系；它考察了社会支持和积极诠释在这种关系上的序列双重中介效应模型。研究参与者包括389名韩国青年男女。使用了感恩问卷-6的韩语版本、SU心理健康测试的一个修改子量表、艾弗森等人的社会支持量表以及主观幸福感量表。采用PROCESS宏3.5模型6来分析双重中介效应。相关分析表明，感恩性格与年轻人的社会支持、积极诠释和主观幸福感呈正相关。此外，社会支持与积极诠释和主观幸福感呈正相关，而积极诠释与主观幸福感呈正相关。此外，社会支持和积极诠释对年轻人感恩性格和主观幸福感的序列中介效应显著。本研究证实了社会支持和积极诠释在年轻人感恩性格和主观幸福感中的决定性作用，为规划未来研究以及开发教育材料和干预措施提供了有用信息，这些措施旨在培养儿童期的感恩性格并促进年轻人的幸福感。
