Participation Required In Small Research In Psychological Well Being.

Hi All,

I have been a quiet reader of posts especially in marital life forum..
I am 38 old female living in India...
This is about a psychology test which i asked about in Married Life forum once.. Moderator Cheeniya approved of it and suggested that i would post this here in "Education and Personal Growth" forum.
I enrolled myself in a psychology course through distance education from Ignou.

As part of my academic requirement we are required to do a project in final year( a small kind of reasearch.. I explored a lot and study on marriages looked very meaningful to me. I must say this came out of my own life..My life changed so much after marriage..some are happy in marriages and some are facing extreme difficulties.. some times even though 2 people are good individually, they are not happy being together..

I wanted to study do our personalities effect how happy we are in marriages.. and how well we are in total..

My project's title is "Effect of our personality on our marital satisfaction and psychological well being"

Initially i wanted to do it on couples ,but later on made it limited to only among women..
and for sample i require women married for atleast 5 years and living in india..(I would also want others do it.. Please quote if you are living outside india or not married for above 5 years.. Men's participation also would be good to have)

I request members participation and i would also encourage it because it gives us insight as who we are , where we stand.. what changes can we make if any..

This test consists of 3 tests on each participant - a test for Personality(NEO FFI)
a test for Marital Satisfaction(Enrich abridged version)
a test for Psychological Well being(Ryff's)

I would later subject test results to statistical analysis and draw conclusions..

I am the posting the questionnaries as reply to this post.

you can post your responses as reply post or you can upload a text file in which you have filled in responses..

But to send that to you i would require your email id which i requested in my post a year back . I posted my email id also in my post. But that is why my entire profile got deleted previously..

I am not sure if we can post our email ids in personal conversation.. If we can ,i have google forms ready .. and we can do this through google forms also.

You can please suggest whichever way is comfortable for you..
