Question 37

Scenario: Paying it forward

Research suggests that performing acts of kindness can boost subjective well-being and reduce stress levels. Psychologists are interested in exploring this further by investigating the relationship between performing helping behaviors and overall life satisfaction. They plan to use self-report methods to find out what specific types of kind deeds people carry out and how these actions relate to their personal happiness.

Explain how you would use the self-report method to investigate what kind of acts of kindness people perform and if this helps improve their happiness. Justify your decisions as part of your explanation.

You must refer to:

  • the use of a structured interview
  • one question that uses a Likert scale
  • the sampling method you would use to collect participants.

You should use your own experience of practical activities to inform your response.
