Enclosed is a battery of questionnaires on the importance of positive attitudes in people's lives, which is part of a Mississippi State University research project. You will be asked about your health and well-being, and other aspects of your life. You will also read 8 short stories about some individual older people, and will indicate what you think they should do. If you have any questions about this study, contact Dr. Carolyn Adams-Price at 662-717-1062, or by e-mail at cea1@msstate.edu. Participation takes 15-30 minutes. Your answers will help us learn more about the factors that make people live healthy, happy lives in middle and late adulthood. PLEASE BE PATIENT IF QUESTIONS SEEM REDUNDANT--there are statistical reasons for this.
