The information that you provide may lead to a better understanding of the impact of such sexual experiences on survivors, and may also lead to better ways to meet survivors’ needs . Your participation will be very helpful, whether or not you have ever had unpleasant or forced sexual experiences. You must be 18 or older to participate. | Mary-Marguerite Kohn, MSW, M.Div; | | Mindfullness and Spirituality | Topic: Survey is interested in spirituality, mindfulness, and well-being.

You do not need to be a practitioner of mindfulness to participate in this study. Survey questions ask about demographic information (e.g. age, gender, etc.), spiritual and religious beliefs and practices, mindfulness practices, and well-being (e.g. physical and mental health).

| | Relationships Between Personality and Spirituality | Topic: The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of a newly-developed personality test as well as examine the relationship between personality, sexuality, and spirituality. Your efforts are helping us understand better the roles of personality and spirituality in peoples' lives. Your participation involves completing, on a secure website, a number of scales that measure various personal qualities. | Ralph Piedmont, Ph.D. | Positive Psychology and Spirituality | Topic: Positive psychology is an important new field of study which helps correct an imbalance in the scientific study of human nature. Previously most research examined emotional pain, psychological disorders, and problem behaviors. A new emphasis is to study a wider range of human attitudes and motivation. The current study is interested in how people describe themselves across additional domains that include their character strenghts. Positive psychology is also interested in spirituality as one aspect of this new exploration. Participating in the study will help us see how these attitudes, behaviors, and motivations fit together in ways that are currently unknown. | Joe Ciarrocchi, Ph.D. |
