Character Strengths and Well-being Survey

by Armaou Maria

Jul 4, 2008

My name is Armaou Maria. I¢d like to inform you about a research project on the relationship between the strengths of character and subjective well being of secondary school teachers that is being undertaken as part of my MSc degree in Occupational Psychology; within the Institute of Work, Health & Organisations (I-WHO), which is a postgraduate institute of applied psychology at the university of Nottingham. I¢d appreciate if you could pass the following information to your colleagues. For the next two months, there will be an on-line survey, in which secondary school teachers need to complete: a) the VIA Strengths survey and b) two brief questionnaires regarding their subjective well-being and job characteristics.

In order to do so, the personal patterns of character strengths are explored; as well as their relationships with a variety of job characteristics.

DIRECTIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS

a) For the first (via character website) you should register using the research code of MAR002 and select the VIA Signature Strengths Survey, as the on-line administration of the character strengths scale is being done through the VIA Strengths Institute. Participants' responses will be aggregated for me only. This will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. There are no wrong or correct answers. All responses are confidential and confidential and will only be seen by the researcher conducting this study.

REMEMBER TO USE THE MAR002 RESEARCH CODE FOR THIS PART OF THE SURVEY AS IN ANY OTHER CASE YOUR RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE CALCULATED FOR THE PRESENT RESEARCH!! IN ORDER TO DO SO ENTER THE CODE: MAR002 IN THE TAB THAT SAYS “IF YOU ARE PROVIDED WITH A RESEARCH CODE PLEASE ENTER IT HERE” YOU WILL FIND IT IN YOUR PROFILE IN THE VIACHARACTER.COM WEB LINK

b) For the second part of the survey you will be redirected to a web-survey designed and run by me, where there are short questionnaires, regarding teachers' subjective well-being, job characteristics and demographic information. This will take approximately 5 minutes. Other than that, all questionnaires ask about participants¢ own experiences. Participation and completion are entirely voluntary.

If you agree to participate or for any additional information about the research you can contact me directly at the e-mail addresses: [email removed]

Kind Regards, Armaou Maria
