Research Articles and Instruments

Friends who are also colleagues!

Research Instruments
The file below includes measures I have used in recent projects to assess organ donation attitudes, knowledge, bodily integrity, the "ick factor," the "jinx factor" and other constructs.  Researchers (whether students or faculty members) have permission to use these measures as long as they are properly credited and cited.
