Project Hope

Course: PSY 494 - Positive Psychology Special Topics

Term: Spring 2022

Instructor: Dr. Rachael Clark

This class was one of the most unique of my college career and allowed me to learn so much about the power of positive psychology. The final project for this class allowed us to participate in Project Hope which is a part of a larger project, Project 505.

This project was about measuring hope and the meaning of life using a survey in west Newport. With our class as the research team, we were able to collect data through qualtrics first hand in areas of high poverty in Newport. We were then able to come back together for analysis and summarization of the results.
