We are studying how changes in people's lives affect them. These changes may be active or passive. Below are two types of changes that can occur in a person's life.
Has there been some significant positive change in the circumstances of your life since the beginning of the semester, which has given you a boost since it occurred? "Circumstances" means facts about your life. For example, you may have moved to a better dorm or a better roommate, received an increase in financial support so you can have more fun, or dropped a course that you were really going to have trouble with.
Have you adopted some significant positive new goal or activity since the beginning of the semester, which has given you a boost since it occurred? "Goal/activity" means something you chose to do or get involved in, which takes effort on your part. For example, you may have joined a rewarding new group, club, or sports team, decided on a major or career direction which makes it clear what to focus on, or taken on some other important new project or goal in your life.
28. What did you write in Essay 1 of the first session?
30. Which form of the first questionnaire did you complete? You can find which form you used in the e-mail that contained the link to this survey. (If you "Don't know", please hit that button, check the e-mail we sent you, and start the survey over again.)
31. Did you actually make the change you said you would make? Please tell the truth -it is ok if you didn't. We just need to know for the purposes of our study.
33. How important or significant was the change?
| | | | | | 41. To what extent does the change involve other people, that is, to what extent is it a social or interpersonal change? | | | | | | | 42. To what extent have you gotten used to the change, that is, to what extent do you find that you've become accustomed it, such that it doesn't give the same boost as before? | | | | | | | 43. To what extent has the new circumstance changed back to the original circumstance, or, have you stopped doing the activity? (answer regarding your change, whether it be circumstance or activity). | | | | | | | 44. To what extent is the change something that varies over time, i.e., something that adds variety to your life? | | | | | | | 45. To what extent is the change something that impacts many domains in your life, i.e., is it something that influences all of your life, rather than just one life-domain? | | | | | | | 46. To what extent has the change made you a happier person? | | | | | | | 47. To what extent was the change an explicit attempt to make yourself happier? | | | | | | | 48. To what extent did you believe that the change would make you happier, before it happened? | | | | | | | 49. To what extent was the change an explicit attempt to put yourself into a better mood? | | | | | | | 50. To what extent did you believe that the change would put you in a better mood, before it happened? | | | | | | |
