Happiness Exercises Study - 1 ExerciseOpen to all who wish to participate
Dr. Seligman and his colleagues have developed exercises designed to increase the happiness in people's lives. Now they would like to find out which ones work and which ones don't. That's where you come in! Read more about the study by clicking on the link above.
Grit StudyOpen to all who wish to participate
Grit is a particular orientation to long-term goals. In this 10-minute study, you can help us understand how grit relates to other personality traits such as extraversion and openness to experience. You can also help us understand whether our own self-evaluation of grit and related traits corresponds to the perceptions of our friends and family members. Do we see ourselves as others see us? All participants will be emailed a summary of our research findings upon completion of this study. Click on the link above to enter the study.
