The Role of Purpose and Meaning in Our Lives
Page One
Hi. My name is Ruth Garrett and I am post -doctoral researcher at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. I am researching the role of
meaning
and
purpose
within our lives.
I'd be delighted if you could spare the time to fill in this questionnaire.
The survey will take a little longer to complete than say a simple yes/no poll because I'm interested in hearing your opinions and experiences.
As you can see I am not collecting individual’s names therefore anonymity is guaranteed. However, if you felt that it was appropriate for me to contact you for further discussion I have left a slot below for your contact details.
Questions 1-9 are general background questions because I would like to understand the global view
Questions 10-14 are about
meaning
because I would like to understand how we make sense of our lives
Questions 15-23 are about
purpose
because I would like to understand our life goals
When you have finished simply
press the 'submit' button at the bottom of the survey
to send in your response.
Thanks in advance, kind regards Ruth.
