Participate In Positive
Psychology Research

At HIGH5, we are dedicated to advancing the research in positive psychology to understand the positive effects of following the strengths-based lifestyle. Our research team continuously runs experiments that are aimed at improving one’s psychological well-being and life satisfaction.

As most of the experiments have randomised control design, there is no 100% guarantee of a positive effect either on your well-being or any other aspect of your life. Your participation is completely voluntary, and you will be able to withdraw it at any time.

You can participate in the current experiment by filling the form below. It will take about 10 minutes of your time.
