Eastern Washington University - Gracianna Winery Gratitude Study (2024)

This is a short update questionnaire for a study initiated in 2020 that aims to investigate your feelings, thoughts, and attitudes regarding gratitude, now and in the future.
In this study you will answer three groups of questions concerning your current emotional well-being (e.g., "I am satisfied with life"), your perceived changes in yourself (e.g., “I am more compassionate towards other people”), and your general emotional perspective on the future (e.g., "I am hopeful").

The questionnaire should take less than 15 minutes. Your identity will be anonymous UNLESS you wish us to send you the results of the study.

If you do wish the results to be shared with you, you will be asked for your name and email address at the end. If you have any questions about this study, please do not hesitate to contact us at Trini Amador at trini3@gracianna.com.

Completing this survey indicates that you are at least 18 years of age and implies your consent to voluntarily participate in this research. Note that there are "validity check" questions in the survey indicating that you are an attentive human responding. :)

If you have any questions about the study, please contact Philip Watkins the Principal Investigator (pwatkins@ewu.edu). If you have questions or concerns about your rights as a participant in this study or any complaints you wish to make, please contact the Office of Grant and Research Development, at 509-359-6567 or ogrd@ewu.edu.
