Participants will have open Q&A with the presenters while they work on the assigned activity. Any excess time will be used to ask participants to share their results of the activity and discuss it as a group until the end of activity time.
Early data access has been granted to this project by the administration of the National Survey of Religious Leaders https://sites.duke.edu/nsrl/. A sample of this data will be prepared and given to the participants during the session for didactic purposes. Participants taking the class live will be required to promise to destroy the file after completion. (Take home students will have the ability to keep the data since it will publicly release in July and then all restrictions are removed.)
Participants who were part of the pre-release will be sent a completed copy of the file with all formulas in July when the data becomes public.

I am an assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Temple University in Philadelphia. I run an inpatient psychiatric service in Episcopal Hospital where I teach medical students and psychiatry residents. I am interested in integrating Psychology with Psychiatry as well as the Catholic-Christian worldview with the empirical sciences. My recently started research career began with a focus on basic science research in Positive Psychology. My Master's Thesis was entitled "The Specific Role of Accountability in Human Flourishing." I want to continue my research in basic science and expand it to applied research in the same area as well as to clinical research in Psychiatry and Psychology.
