Hello,
My name is Arianna Foster, and I am an undergraduate student in the Department of Psychological Science at Ball State University. I am writing to let you know about an opportunity to participate in a study, Predictors of Flourishing (IRB-FY2026-235). I am conducting a research study examining various psychological concepts that may predict flourishing. Flourishing is a psychological term that encompasses a multidimensional measure of social, psychological, environmental, and physical wellbeing. The study intends to look at the relationships and interactions between predictors of flourishing to provide supportive information for what may help to improve the quality of life for individuals.
You are invited to participate in the study. If you agree, you will participate in a 10-15 minute anonymous Qualtrics survey. Once you have clicked the link or scanned the QR code, you will be sent to a consent form to participate in the study. Participants who complete the survey will answer a series of measures, including demographics, a scale to measure overall wellbeing, and two other scales that are hypothesized to be predictors of flourishing.
Participation in this study is completely anonymous and voluntary. Participants may skip questions they feel uncomfortable answering and may quit the survey at any time.
Participants must be 18 years of age or older to participate in this study.
If you would like to participate in this study, please follow this link to the Informed Consent and Qualtrics survey:
