Recent quotes and/or interviews in the media from faculty

“Gratitude is the gateway behavior to social-emotional competence.” –Giacomo Bono, assistant professor of psychology, was interview for the EdSurge article “A Tiny Thanks Goes a Long Way—in Helping Students Forge Social-Emotional Connections.” Bono’s quote was in reference to a report he co-authored “Gratitude and the Reduced Costs of Materialism
in Adolescent,” which suggests that gratitude can be correlated with higher grades, life satisfaction, and social integration. The article also referenced Bono’s findings that lower envy and depression suggest that mental health, wellbeing and gratitude are all connected and reinforced by one another.
