Hello, The University of Minho, Portugal and the Dare Institute are inviting potential participants from various backgrounds for an online study on how adults differ in their reasoning of problems. The purpose of this study is to explore an empirical basis, to facilitate discussion among our profession, and to further our understanding of adult reasoning. Your participation is completely voluntary and your answers will remain anonymous.
The study consists of each participant taking a pair of instruments. The Loyola Generativity Scale is used to assess individual differences in generativity among adults. The Adult Self-Transcendence Inventory measures transcendence across a broad range of ages. Each one of these instruments has been paired with the the Helper Person Problem. This instrument assesses stage according to the Model of Hierarchical Complexity. Each participant will take only two instruments. The instruments are short and it should not take more than 20 or 25 minutes to complete them both. Participation is anonymous and all information will be confidential. If you have any questions, you can contact Michael Lamport Commons through email at [email protected].
