2017 - 2018 funding activities

$200 was donated to the Center for Self-Determination Theory to support their efforts in advancing research on human motivation and applying their findings to practices across domains (for examples, sports, education, work, etc.) to promote psychological well-being.

A total of $1,367.94 was distributed to the University of Rochester to support studies that focus on 1) the effects of emotional experiences leading to science curiosity and 2) personality and cognitive factors predicting science rejection. Three series of studies were conducted using these funds, described below. PI: Jonathon McPhetres (osf.io/btkfw)
