- As part of this degree I completed a Major Research project which considered spiritual awareness and emotional intelligence in adolescents. The goal of the research was to propose a set of quantitative items that may be used as a partner for the qualitative Little Box of Big Questions – a goal which was achieved. The items that were developed were designed to reflect the response categories prevalent in participant interviews and to be complimentary to a measure of emotional intelligence (the Adolescent Swinburne University Emotional Intelligence Test) as opposed to overlapping. The goal of the research was obtained.
