Life Satisfaction of Atheists

[chasm]

Hahahaha. I'm trying to see how many people I can make angry by calling myself a Muslim.

It doesn't make anyone angry. It misleads.

__4___1. In most ways my life is close to my ideal.
__5___2. The conditions of my life are excellent.
__4___3. I am satisfied with life.
__4___4. So far I have gotten the important things I want in life.
__1___5. If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing.

Yeah I'm unhappy, but I happen to have not done enough in comparison to my broodmates.

I'm a psychology major currently researching about the life satisfaction of atheists. I am hoping that you can help me with my research by answering these questions. I would also need your age and gender. Thank you so much!

Do you really expect to get significant data with an internet poll ? Because even if you manage to get a few hundred answers, it won't be statiscally significant. Your questions are also kinda vague and could be more explicit. And a specific set of possible answers for each question would help a lot. Anyway, good luck with your study.

___4___1. In most ways my life is close to my ideal. (Read as my life is not necessarily "ideal" but I can't complain as it could be worse)
___4___2. The conditions of my life are excellent. (Read as my life circumstances could be worse and as such they are "excellent" for a given value of excellent)
___6___3. I am satisfied with life. (Read as I again can't complain, things could be better but then t hey could be worse. As it has all turned out I can say that my life as it is now is pretty good)
___6___4. So far I have gotten the important things I want in life. (Read as I have gotten shelter and food and a caring group of individuals who really care about ME....then yes life has delivered)
___7___5. If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing. (Read as should this fantasy be available would I?? Why bother?? To live it all again??? meh. No I would not change anything because then it would not be "my life" as I am referencing it NOW)

I doubt that you are in fact a Psychology student, namely due to the fact that your questions are rather illogical, for example using words like "Close to my ideal" and "Change almost nothing" when you don't need to as it defeats the purpose of having various levels of agreement.

So a quick disclaimer here, i am removing all of the sections of these questions that create more ambiguity, feel free to interpret them as you intended.

Of course, I have to admit that I tend to have a pretty Schopenhauerian point of view on life, and I always look forward to something going wrong in my life, even if it's something like the power cord on my laptop starting to run on variable ratio.

random other info: I'm still in college, worried about my future employment, but for the most part I answered as how I feel of my life as of this post.

I hate these polls

______1. In most ways my life is close to my ideal.
Assuming I have a clear picture of what's ideal. Sorry dude.

______2. The conditions of my life are excellent.
All is relative. What's your benchmark?

______3. I am satisfied with life.
Do I really have a choice?

______4. So far I have gotten the important things I want in life.
Importance devaluates by having, how should I decide?

______5. If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing.
Mixing fantasy and reality can lead anyone in serious trouble.
