Want to take a survey on Forgiveness?

Friends who visit our blog here is a request that we want to make to invite you to participate in Kristi's dissertation on scales of "Forgiveness." Here is a letter Kristi is distributing to potential participants:

Dear potential participant,

My name is Kristi R. Mouttet. I am a doctoral student in the Regent University Counselor Education and Supervision program. I am writing this letter to you to request your assistance in a study I am conducting between married couples on forgiveness.

The title of the study is: A Comparative Analysis of Three Scales Intended to Measure Forgiveness. Through this research, we are working to validate a new forgiveness scale that will be used in understanding forgiveness among married couples. The main requirements for participation include:

1. Married partners
2. Each partner will need to participate in the study in order for their results to be added to the study. Though, each partner may participate independently. Couples will be tracked based on a basic identifier such as their wedding anniversary.

The study has been reviewed and approved by the Human Subjects Review Committee (HSRC) of the School of Psychology and Counseling at Regent University. And I am under the advisement and guidance of my dissertation committee who include: Dr. James Sells, Dr. Elisabeth Suarez, and Dr. Gary Oliver.

The survey is available online through SurveyMonkey.com which may be found at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=20CXcne5haLTSidMg4d1QA_3d_3d. The survey questions average 10-15 minutes of time. If you choose to participate or forward this on to someone who might be interested, participation is voluntary and anonymous. The survey will be available online until December 15, 2008.

If you are able to participate in this quantitative study, your time and interest will be greatly appreciated. If you would like to forward this email to others in your community, this will also be appreciated due to the quantitative nature of this study. We are hoping to study a large population of married couples. Once again, you may access the survey link at:

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this study, please contact the Principle Investigator, Kristi R. Mouttet at krismou@regent.edu, or Dissertation Advisor, Dr. James Sells at jsells@regent.edu .
