The Seity Check-In: A novel tool for assessing momentary well-being
Jamie McCreary, Ph.D., Harold Stanislaw, Ph.D., Katrina Hawley, and Lia Romeo
Many wellbeing measures are long and ask people to recall how they felt over past weeks. The Wellbeing Check-in, called the Seity Check-In in this study, asks how a person is doing right now across 4 determinants: Energy, Direction, Belonging, and Joy. People answer on a 5-point emoji scale, and the full check takes a few seconds. In a preregistered analysis of 564 adults in the United States, Wellbeing Check-in scores correlated highly with 2 established wellbeing measures and with existing scales built for each determinant.
The importance of belonging for well-being in college students
College students are vulnerable to mental health challenges that include depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. We examined how subjective well-being in 369 college students in the United States was affected by the number of friends or family members who could provide essential needs (instrumental support) or with whom intimate or personal matters could be discussed (emotional support), the frequency of engaging with others, satisfaction with these engagements, and the sense of belonging.
Identifying Core Values with a Hierarchical, Ipsative, Preference Assessment
Jamie McCreary, Ph.D., and Harold Stanislaw, Ph.D.
Values provide a foundation for decision-making, behavior, and emotional reaction. They are often used by practitioners to design effective interventions for self-awareness and personal growth. This report describes a novel, user-friendly method that identifies Core Values with a hierarchical ipsatization procedure (HIP) that is transparent and efficient.
