Arabic Basma Tamim

Sumaya Mohammed

Back in Ancient Rome, the philosopher Cicero described gratitude as the mother of all virtues.

في روما القديمة وصف الفيلسوف شيشرون الامتنان بأنه أساس جميع الفضائل.

This concept of being thankful has been stressed in religion and philosophy for a long time.

وتم تأكيد هذا المفهوم في الدين والفلسفة لوقتٍ طويل.

Back in 1820 Scottish philosopher Thomas Brown defined gratitude as “that delightful emotion

وفي عام 1820 عرّف الفيلسوف الاسكتلندي توماس براون الامتنان بأنه:

of love to him who has conferred a kindness on us.”

"شعور الحبّ المبهج الذي نُكنّه لمن أحسن إلينا."

But scientifically, gratitude doesn’t qualify as a basic emotion like joy, sadness or anger.

ولكن علميًا لا يُعدّ الامتنان شعورًا أساسيًا كالفرح أو الحزن أو الغضب.

There’s no universal facial expression for it. As an emotion, gratitude is a little hard to define.

فلا يوجد تعبير وجهٍ مُتعارفٌ عليه يدلّ على الامتنان. وهكذا فإنّه من الصّعب تعريف الامتنان كشعور .

Today the Oxford Dictionary defines gratitude as “the quality or condition of being thankful; the appreciation of an inclination to return kindness.” And we’ve only really started to study gratitude scientifically in the past 30 years.

واليومَ يعرفُ قاموس أكسفورد الامتنان بأنه: "الاتّصاف أو التّحلي بالشّكر، استحسان الرغبة في ردّ الجميل." ولم نبدأ بدراسة الامتنان فعليًا وبشكلٍ علميٍ إلا خلال الـ30 عامًا الماضية.

In a 2015 study, participants were asked to imagine how they would feel if a complete stranger saved their life. I mean, how would you feel?

في دراسةٍ عام 2015، طُلب من المشاركين أن يتخيلوا كيف سيكون شعورهم إذا ما أنقذ شخصٌ غريبٌ حياتهم. كيف سيكون شعورك أنت؟

The participants had to rate how grateful they were to strangers who provided them with gifts of food and clothing – all while they had their brain scanned in an fMRI machine.

فكان على المشاركين تقييم امتنانهم للغرباء الذين قدموا لهم هدايًا من الطعام أوالملابس. كلّ ذلك أثناء تصوير أدمغتهم عن طريق أجهزة التصوير بالرنين المغناطيسي الوظيفي.

Researchers found their ratings of gratitude positively correlated with activity in brain areas associated with fairness and value judgements. It makes sense because gratitude is often thought of as a moral emotion.

وجد الباحثون أنّ شعورهم بالامتنان مُرتبطٌ بنشاطٍ في مناطق الدّماغ المرتبطة بالعدل والأحكام القيمة. وهذا منطقيٌ لأن الامتنان غالبًا ما يعتبر شعورًا أخلاقيًا.

There are even benefits in just noting how grateful you are. Another study asked people

مجرّد إدراكك لشعورك بالامتنان مفيدٌ لك.

to write down three things that went well that day and why for one week. At the end

طلبت دراسةٌ أخرى من المشاركين كتابة ثلاثة أشياء سارت على ما يرام في يومهم ولماذا لمدة أسبوعٍ واحد.

of the week people were slightly happier than at the beginning, and over time, their happiness scores kept improving. After one month they were 5% happier and after six months they

وفي نهاية الأسبوع كان الناس أسعد بقليلٍ مما كانوا عليه في البداية، وظلّ مستوى السعادة في زيادةٍ مع مرور الوقت. وبعد شهرٍ أصبحوا أسعد بنسبة 5٪ ، وبعد ستة أشهرٍ كانوا أسعد بنسبة 9%.

were 9% happier. Just from one week of writing a journal.

وهذه نتيجة أسبوعٍ واحدٍ فقط من كتابة اليوميات.

A similar study with participants with heart disease found that keeping a gratitude journal increased their heart health and quality of sleep, perhaps because it reduces stress.

ووجدت دراسةٌ مشابهةٌ لمشاركين من مرضى القلب أن تدوين امتنانك على الدوام يزيد من صحة القلب ويحسن من النوم، ولعلّ ذلك لأنه يخففّ من التوتر.

“Counting your blessings” quite literally makes people happier and healthier.

عَدُّ النعم -حرفيًا- يجعل الناس أصحّ وأسعد.

And some people are even hardwired to be more thankful. In a recent study of 77 couples,

وبعض الناس مخوّلون ليكونوا أكثر امتنانًا من غيرهم. في دراسةٍ أجريت مؤخرًا على 77 من الأزواج،

those with a particular genetic variation that affects the secretion of oxytocin expressed more gratitude towards their partners. Oxytocin is thought to play a big role in promoting close social bonds, so gratitude is part of the glue that keeps these relationships together.

وجدوا أنّ الذين لديهم تباينٌ وراثيٌ معينٌ والذي يؤثر على إفراز الأوكسيتوسين يُظهرون امتنانًا أكثر لأزواجهم. يُعتقد أنّ الأوكسيتوسين يلعب دورًا كبيرًا في تعزيز الروابط الاجتماعية الوثيقة، والامتنان جزءٌ ذلك الغراء الذي يُبقي على هذه العلاقات.

So if you think it’s the thought that counts, think again. Science shows there are some

فإن اعتقتدت أنّ العبرة بالفكرة، فكّر مرةً أُخرى.

pretty amazing benefits to our mind, body and relationships when we say those two small

يظهر العلم أن هناك بعض الفوائد المذهلة للعقل والجسد والعلاقات عندما نقول هاتين الكلمتين الصغيرتين:

words – thank you.

شكرًا لك. ترجمة: فريق autrjim@
