本研究旨在探討國中生的感恩、復原力與創造傾向的相關情形，採用「問卷調查法」來進行研究，以分層立意取樣方式來選取樣本，樣本蒐集涵蓋全台北、中、南、東四區域的國中一到三年級，依照各地區國中生在全國的比例來決定抽樣的人數，共抽樣十一間國中人數為1206位，以確定樣本的代表性及日後運用的範圍。本研究以研究者翻譯改編之「感恩、憤怒、欣賞測驗」(GRAT)的「感恩量表」，詹雨臻等人(出版中)編製的「青少年復原力量表」(IAR)，及林幸台、王木榮（1987；1995）所修訂的「威廉斯創造傾向量表」為研究工具，並且建立翻譯改編之後「感恩量表」的信效度。在信、效度的部分，本量表重測信為 .817~ .832，而Cronbach α係數為 .801~ .832，兩者皆達.001顯著水準，顯示本量表的穩定性佳及內部一致性良好；而建構效度部分各項整體適度指標均達到標準，顯示本量表整體模式適配情形頗為理想；又以「兒童樂觀信念量表」與「貝克兒童及青少年量表」為效標，結果發現具有良好的同時效度。
本研究的資料分析與整裡，採用描述統計、獨立樣本t檢定、二因子及單因子變異數分析、相關分析與迴歸分析等方法，主要結果發現如下:
一、發展一套良好信效度的感恩測量工具：「感恩量表」
二、不同背景變項對國中生對感恩特質有預測效果
1.良好親子關係、父母民主式管教方式及正向家庭氣氛有助於發展國中生的感恩特質。
2.主觀同儕關係良好與主觀課業壓力中等程度的國中生感恩狀況較佳。
三、對感恩相關領域的貢獻
1.國中生的感恩與復原力有顯著中度正相關，其中以分量表「感激他人」對復原力的預測力最佳，表示感激他人能累積突破困境所需的資源。
2.國中生的感恩與創造傾向有顯著低度正相關，且其中以分量表「欣賞簡單事物」對創造傾向的預測力最佳，表示欣賞簡單事物時能呈現創新的觀點。
最後，根據本研究結果加以討論，並提供學校與家庭教育以及未來研究上的具體建議，以做為後續教育及未來研究的參考。
