Question

Please peer review the following for clarity, content, process and quality

My target audience will be comprised of Christians men and women who meet the criteria put forth in PERMA (positive emotion, engagement, healthy relationships, meaning, and achievement).

The social and relational significance of the devotional journal will benefit each individual according to their subjective entry survey. The result will vary but should consistently show either an increase, decrease, or no change to their PERMA. What interests myself is which area increases the most out of the five categories. Regardless of their self-report, my hope is that the personal devotions, journal entry responses, will connect them to God in a greater way. The project setting will be located in each of the participant’s home. The daily devotion will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Each devotion will be approximately 100 words from the Gospel of Luke. This project will consist of 10-12 participants from two churches;

Answer 1

The given proposal project does not clearly define the variables under study. The concept of ‘PERMA’ needs a detailed account and each term should be operationally defined in term sof how would it be assessed in the self reports. Moreover, the larger purpose of the research and its scope is not mentioned. This makes the reader doubt the applicability of the research. A discussion of the existing or missing literature on the spiritual experiences and devotional communication is not present. The research design is questionable on grounds of low validity as the setting for the study is not a standard location rather different households and it does not specify the criteria for the selection of the sample of the two searches. Thus, without randomised procedures and a small sample size of only 10-12 participants makes the design a weak one.
