Research Study
Study on Goal Pursuit in Older Couples
Currently Recruiting
Other General Health , Social Determinants of Health, Aging, Other Older Adults
Examine how partners (aged 60+) navigate their lives and pursue valued goals (in addition to other questions, we’d ask about your goal progress for three specific goals during the course of 10 days). The results of our study will help us to understand how partners help each other to accomplish together what might be difficult to do alone. We are particularly interested in the day-to-day life situations.
The study involves an initial, hour-long zoom session with a self-paced questionnaire (usually around 90-120 minutes), 10 days of morning (usually 5-10 minutes) and evening questionnaires (usually 10-20 minutes), and a final, 30-minute long zoom session with a questionnaire (usually 60 minutes). As a token of appreciation, we’d offer each of you a $50 amazon giftcard.
