Phd Study on Preparing for Yom Tov (Please Participate)
My friend, David Richels is a doctoral candidate, at Old Dominion University, in Norfolk, VA. For his dissertation research, he will be conducting a study of expressive writing as a way to promote wellness in preparation for the holidays. He needs Orthodox Jewish wives to complete 3 short surveys and do some writing (writings will not be collected). Participation is done through the use of the internet. Participants will complete the surveys by anonymously logging into http://www.richels.com
The study will be available beginning September 8, 2008, at 12:00 AM. Your participation is needed once each calendar day for 3 consecutive days. The entire process will take no more than 30 minutes on day 1, 20 minutes on day 2, and 30 minutes on day 3. Fifteen minutes of each time frame is you writing. As you can see, the time you will actually spend on the internet completing the surveys is very limited.
The results of this study will be made available at the same internet address, January 2009.
All information will be anonymous and confidential!
The information you supply can help improve the understanding between the connections of religion, writing, and wellness. David is an Orthodox Jew, and he is vested through my work toward making the Jewish community a better place to live.
