Survivor's Needs Survey

Topic: Are you a survivor of clergy sexual abuse/clergy sexual exploitation? We are trying to learn about the needs of survivors of clergy sexual abuse, and how best to address those needs. The survey will help mental health professionals better understand the impact of clergy abuse. This survey is completely anonymous and confidential and we thank you for your contribution.

Mindfullness and SpiritualityTopic: Survey is interested in spirituality, mindfulness, and well-being. Mindfulness is defined as the practice of intentionally paying attention to experiences occurring in the present moment, in a nonjudgmental and accepting way.  You do not need to be a practitioner of mindfulness to participate in this study.  Survey questions ask about demographic information (e.g. age, gender, etc.), spiritual and religious beliefs and practices, mindfulness practices, and well-being (e.g. physical and mental health).  Completing this survey will take less than 20-25 minutes.

Relationships Between Personality and SpiritualityTopic: The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of a newly-developed personality test as well as examine the relationship between personality, sexuality, and spirituality. Your efforts are helping us understand better the roles of personality and spirituality in peoples' lives. Your participation involves completing, on a secure website, a number of scales that measure various personal qualities.Ralph Piedmont, Ph.D.

Positive Psychology and Spirituality

Topic:  Positive psychology is an important new field of study which helps correct an imbalance in the scientific study of human nature. Previously most research examined emotional pain, psychological disorders, and problem behaviors. A new emphasis is to study a wider range of human attitudes and motivation. The current study is interested in how people describe themselves across additional domains that include their character strenghts. Positive psychology is also interested in spirituality as one aspect of this new exploration. Participating in the study will help us see how these attitudes, behaviors, and motivations fit together in ways that are currently unknown.Joe Ciarrocchi, Ph.D.
