International Wellbeing
Study
General
In this study, we want to look at what is going wrong and
what is going right in different people from around the world. We want
to capture the entire picture of what it means to be healthy and most
importantly, track people to understand how they change over time. This
is the first study of its kind to look in depth at people's wellbeing
from around the world.
For Philosophers
I am involved in an online study investigating peoples’
well-being. Basically it investigates people’s well-being over the
course of one year. I would like to specifically investigate the
well-being of philosophers (people with a minimum of a degree in
philosophy), and how their wellbeing changes over a year. It would be
great if as many philosophers as possible could participate in this.
It’s completely anonymous, easy to do, you don’t
have to give any of your personal details, and takes about 25 to 30
minutes for each assessment point. The only participation requirements
are that you are at least 16 years old and that you agree to fill out
these questions every three months for a year; five times in total.
To participate and/or to
find out more about the study, follow this link: www.wellbeingstudy.com
*****IMPORTANT!*****
The “study code” for this specific population to input
into this survey if you have degree in philosophy is “Philosophy” which
you should type in at the beginning of the survey (on the 2nd page),
otherwise your specific philosophy status will not be noticed.
*****IMPORTANT!*****
If you participate, you will receive an e-mail summary report of their
scores, and also go into the draw to win one of fifteen US$100
Amazon.com vouchers. You will also be given the opportunity to opt-in
to one of three free wellbeing orientated courses after you have
completed the first three assessments.
Many thanks for your help!
Not a Philosopher?
Don't worry, you can still participate in the study and
your contribution will be just as valuable. Follow this link for more

Why
Contact Me?
Please feel free
to
contact me. I'm more than happy to discuss philosophical and
wellbeing-related matters with anyone.
Of particular
interest to me is making contact with other wellbeing researchers.
Especially for the following reasons:
- If you
are interested in being a
peer reviewer for or potential contributor to the International
Journal of Wellbeing
- If you
are
an editor of a philosophy or wellbeing-related project looking for a
contributor
- If you
are
interested in collaborating on theoretical, interdisciplinary, or
empirical wellbeing research
- If you
are a
non-philosopher and want to discuss philosophical aspects of wellbeing
