Research
With the help of grants from the
Fetzer,
Ford,
Hewlett,
Spencer, and
Templeton Foundations,
the QLRC is concluding research jointly with Harvard and
Stanford Universities on the conditions that make
good work in the
professions possible. Areas investigated include business,
human genetics, the media, philanthropy, and higher education.
Findings are used to enhance professional training in these
areas.
The QLRC is also currently conducting
research on the sources of good mentoring with a grant from the
Spencer Foundation, and on
psychological capital with a grant from the
University of
Pennsylvania Positive Psychology Center.
Other projects the QLRC is currently pursuing include:
• mentoring and the transmission
of knowledge in intergenerational
relationships
• contributions of art and aesthetics to the quality
of life
• challenge and enjoyment in internet chess
The Center welcomes collaboration on projects
in line with its basic mission.
