EA folks, will you be willing to spend some time for my research?
The study aims to understand how altruist traits relate to well-being. The findings may contribute to psychological research at the intersection of moral psychology and positive psychology.
Researcher: Kaviya Ilangovan
Programme: Master's in Clinical Psychology
Institution: Kristu Jayanti Deemed to be University, Bengaluru, India
Research supervisor: Dr. Smitha A G, Head of the Department, Psychology (PG)
Researcher's contact: [email protected]
Eligible Participants: Effective Altruist Community including LessWrong, Giving What We Can and individuals working/engaged in EA organizations.
Time: <10 minutes

The response is collected through a unique Participant ID (First two letters of their name, first two number of their date of birth, first two letters of their city of birth) in CAPITAL.
Eg: KA15MA
This is maintained, so if the participants require it to be removed in the future, it can be identifiable. This is also to maintain anonymity and no real name will be collected. The email address is collected to share the results in the future.
We have received Institution Review Board's ethical approval. If you're eligible, please consider participating. I'm looking for at least 319 responses! And if you can't participate yourself, sharing this with someone in the community would help me out enormously, every eligible response would mean a lot to my thesis.
We expect to complete the thesis by April 2027. Shortly after, we will send a brief summary of what we learned to everyone who participated.
Thank you so much for reading and considering to fill it up!
Edit: I had used the demographic questions from a previous study. However, recently I had some changes and removed the excess that was not necessary for my study.
This survey is a SCAM. It is asking for information that clearly can be used to gain access to one's personal financial assets.
I sincerely apologize if it looked like a scam, I'm a student at Kristu Jayanti Deemed to be University, Bengaluru, my official ID is: [email protected] . I have received my Institutional Review Board for this research. I will also get permission from my university to share the IRB approval if it is needed for the authenticity. But this is in no mean to gain any financial or any personal benefits. I'm an independent student doing my thesis research under Dr. Smitha A.G. who is also the Head of the Department found in this link
The questions I asked are referred from a peer-reviewed rigorous journal https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/4/10/pgaf326/8295127 who had completed their research on a similar topic and population.
It will be a serious ethical violation to scam (morally I really cannot do) and I don't intend to misuse this data for any means. I completely get how you called out my research as a scam to protect the community but, a statement like this could really be misleading. If you have more questions, kindly let me know and write me a mail, so I could clarify (I'm a new user and I don't have enough Karma to reply, I could not respond to you in chat. Thank you). Sorry for the misunderstandings caused. Thank you for reading so far and understanding me!
how so? I'm confused
