Post: Teachers' Character Strengths and Well-being Survey
Posted by Armaou Maria on 7/04/08
Hallo,
My name is Armaou Maria. Iąd like to inform you about a
research project on the relationship between the strengths
of character and subjective well being of secondary school
teachers that is being undertaken as part of my MSc degree
in Occupational Psychology; within the Institute of Work,
Health & Organisations (I-WHO), which is a postgraduate
institute of applied psychology at the university of
Nottingham. Iąd appreciate if you could pass the following
information to your colleagues.
For the next two months, there will be an on-line survey, in
which secondary school teachers need to complete: a) the VIA
Strengths survey and b) two brief questionnaires regarding
their subjective well-being and job characteristics. This
will take approximately 35 minutes.
The aim of this research is to explore the occupational
pattern of character strengths and the degree to which they
can predict life satisfaction. In order to do so, the
personal patterns of character strengths are explored; as
well as their relationships with a variety of job
characteristics.
In order to participate in this survey they only have to
visit the following web site addresses:
a) http://viacharacter.org/TakeVIASurvey/tabid/55/Default.aspx
b)
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Ka63EM_2frczed3O9CRw6nOQ_3d_3d
DIRECTIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS
a) For the first (via character website) you should register
using the research code of MAR002 and select the VIA
Signature Strengths Survey, as the on-line administration of
the character strengths scale is being done through the VIA
Strengths Institute. Participants' responses will be
aggregated for me only.
This will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. There
are no wrong or correct answers. All responses are
confidential and confidential and will only be seen by the
researcher conducting this study.
REMEMBER TO USE THE MAR002 RESEARCH CODE FOR THIS PART OF
THE SURVEY AS IN ANY OTHER CASE YOUR RESPONSES WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO BE CALCULATED FOR THE PRESENT RESEARCH!!
IN ORDER TO DO SO ENTER THE CODE: MAR002 IN THE TAB THAT
SAYS “IF YOU ARE PROVIDED WITH A RESEARCH CODE PLEASE ENTER
IT HERE”
YOU WILL FIND IT IN YOUR PROFILE IN THE VIACHARACTER.COM WEB
LINK
b) For the second part of the survey you will be redirected
to a web-survey designed and run by me, where there are
short questionnaires, regarding teachers' subjective
well-being, job characteristics and demographic information.
This will take approximately 5 minutes.
Other than that, all questionnaires ask about participantsą
own experiences. Participation and completion are entirely
voluntary.
If you agree to participate or for any additional
information about the research you can contact me directly
at the e-mail addresses: lwxma2@nottingham.ac.uk or
vavel7@yahoo.gr or on the phone number: 07794146181
