Donating Your Raw Data Helps Others
Please join the effort to understand and measure the positive and negative aspects of helping others.
At ProQol.org, we believe that the continuing development of our field is in continuing our research. We depend on donations of raw data to build the psychometric properties and norm the ProQOL.
The ProQOL data bank is vital to the development of the ProQOL and the theory of the positive and negative aspects of helping.
The ProQOL is largely a volunteer effort. Scores of people around the world have donated raw data to the data bank. This allows us to continue to improve the ProQOL and learn about how it is used. If you would like to join others around the world who contribute to our effort, you can donate your data through this site.
If I donate a copy of my raw data, what happens to it?
In summary, we do not keep any
individually identifying information in the data bank. We do not publish
any one data set individually. The data bank is not publicly available.
Below the submission form we explain in detail about the ProQOL Data
Bank.
