About the BeFriend Study
What is the BeFriend Study about?One of the longest-standing and important research questions in psychology is “How do people achieve psychological wellness and health?” In this study, we will investigate four kinds of factors that we believe are important in answering this question.
Studying these factors will make an important scientific contribution to understanding what leads to wellness and health. Ultimately, this kind of research helps shape public policy and interventions that can help people live happier and healthier lives. |

You will learn more about yourself and you will share a unique and interesting experience with your friend! In addition, your participation will also contribute to new and important research on wellness and health. For example, we will address questions like how can friendship help us cope with life’s challenges? How do people experience and manage their feelings? How does our biology contribute to our health? Your participation matters a lot and will ultimately help shape public policy and interventions that help people live happier and healthier lives. |
Your time and your help with this research are invaluable.
