• Research Participant Intake Form

    Please read and answer all of the qualification questions to ensure eligibility for the study.

  • As a student at Liberty University, I have studied the many concepts and practices which greatly influence each of us in our daily lives and in social interactions. The focus of my Doctoral Program is to research and develop a greater understanding of aspects of the human life cycle, how they contribute to ones views, and how we process events on a daily basis.

    Below you will be asked to complete the form to ensure that you meet the criteria for participation in this research project. There are two parts to this study.

    Part 1

    For those who qualify, you will be asked to complete the demographics questions and the initial surveys (approximately 20-30 minutes to complete ) this will be used to identify your group placement for the study.  Upon completion of the first section, you will receive an email within 24-48 hours inviting you back to complete the final portion and will include your code number to enter the study.

    Part 2

    This will include a couple surveys and request a written response to the provided question. This written response does not have a minimum length and there is no consideration given to spelling, punctuation or writing structure. The object is to capture your feelings about the subject presented in approximately 5-7 minutes. The surveys themselves will typically take 5-15 minutes to complete, so the time required for this second section will be guided by the amount of time spent on the writing portion (approximately 30-40 minutes to complete).

    Each part will need to be completed in one setting, the system will not save your information if you exit. Please ensure that you have sufficient time to complete the section before beginning.  

    Upon completion you will receive a debriefing document detailing additional information on the project and contact information. If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to receive notice upon completion of the study, please select this option at the end of the debriefing. As a thank you for your prticipation you will also receive access to mental health workbooks on a variety of counseling topics to guide and support you.
