Psychological research - Atheists, Christians and quality of life
January 23, 2013 at 5:26 pm
Hi there,
My name is Rosie, and I'm a final year psychology student from Ireland. As part of our degree, we have to carry out a piece of independent research.
My research project is looking at the links between strength of outlook (whether religious or nonreligious - an atheist may be certain in their atheism, and so on) and quality of life.
It is completed by means of an online survey, which takes no longer than ten minutes to complete. I am looking for individuals of all types to complete it, as I need as large a sample as possible, with a range of outlooks on life.
With this in mind, I will post the link here (I did ask for permission  ). I would really appreciate it if some of you could give a response - it would mean a lot! The survey can be found here:

...and it is important to read the instructions at the beginning.
Also, as this is a forum, I'll open it to discussion too. Do you think there is a link between strength of belief and quality of life? And what direction do you think that link would be in?
If there is interest in the topic, I'm more than happy to post the results of my research once it's complete - by April or May.
Thank you!

Done!
And welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Not sure how you're going to measure the results from diverse places in the globe, but it's done!
