Youth Athletes Gratitude Study: Survey Data from 504 Taiwanese High School Students

A multi-wave study from 2019 collected survey data from 504 youth athletes across 17 high schools in Taiwan. Participants, with a mean age of 15.29 years, completed questionnaires on general and sports-specific gratitude over six semesters. The dataset was created by author Chen, Lung Hung and is hosted on the Dataverse platform.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between dispositional gratitude and sports-specific gratitude based on the two distinct scales used.
• Studying longitudinal changes in gratitude over the high school period based on the multi-wave assessment design.
• Investigating demographic or sports-related factors associated with gratitude levels among youth athletes.
• Validating or comparing the psychometric properties of the Gratitude Questionnaire-Taiwan and Gratitude Questionnaire-Sport scales.

Strengths

• Includes data from 504 initial participants, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Uses two validated scales (GQ-T and GQ-S) with reported reliability and validity for measuring gratitude.
• Features longitudinal data collected over six semesters, allowing for analysis of changes over time.
• Study design includes participants from 28 different sports, offering diversity in athletic context.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Participant attrition is noted across assessment waves, which may introduce bias into longitudinal analyses.
• The dataset's geographic scope is limited to Taiwan, which may affect generalizability to other populations.
