Doing some research
Posted by Ian Raugh on Wednesday, 16 November 2011
Hello all, it certainly has been a while!
I have been busy with work (40 hours a week) and school (4 classes, plus a physics lab) and thus not been able to update, or sleep for that matter. That being said, I need some help. I am doing a research project for one of my classes, Psychology of Happiness, and want to survey enough people to see if there is at least something to my hypothesis.
I anticipate a correlation between higher levels of Transcendent and Humanity strengths with happiness, perhaps a causal relationship (although that is not what I am looking at right now). What I will do is graph happiness as a function of each strength to see if there is a significant correlation. Anything and everything I find will be put on here for all to see, with nice and pretty graphs (at least, as nice and pretty as I can make them).
If you want to take a look and participate, I have the file on Google Docs (since the format was not copy-paste friendly).
This is a statistical approach to a psychological issue for a research paper for a humanities class at a community college, reality can be stranger than fiction sometimes I guess.
