Wiki Version:
We are completing this as a part of a group project in our Research Methods class. We will be conducting a Direct+Plus replication wherein we will include the two social status items from Jon Grahe following the direct replication portion. Additionally, we will be extending the project (with additional items following the social status items) by collecting demographic data specific to college students and measuring self-esteem using Rosenberg's scale. Specifically, respondents will be asked what their declared major is (if they have one) and to indicate their reasons for pursuing a degree in that field. They will select, from a provided list of possible reasons, to indicate all of those that contributed to that decision. We are interested to see whether the relation between wealth and happiness will be different among those who indicate financial motives (e.g., It is a safe option for providing a stable future" or "I anticipate being able to earn a high salary") versus more social and intrinsic motives (e.g."I am genuinely interested in this field" or "I believe people respect those in that field."). We also anticipate that self-esteem will positively correlate with various of the other measures collected (responses on the self-anchoring striving scale, need fulfillment, positive affect). The additional variance accounted for by self-esteem may help to better understand the relation between financial predictors and measured outcomes. We have used the phone transcript used in a previous replication attempt by Grant, Tuohino, and McLaughlin as a template for our Qualtrics survey. In all cases, the same wording was used and response scales were kept as close as possible to those in the original survey. The full survey is included in this section as well as the social status items by Jon Grahe, and Rosenberg's self-esteem scale.
