Emotional Intelligence and Wellbeing in Australian Informal Carers: The Roles of Benefit Finding and Age

This project explores the relationship between emotional intelligence, wellbeing, and life satisfaction for informal (unpaid) carers across Australia. We are also investigating whether this relationship varies as a function of benefit finding (identifying positive contributions in one's life). 

People who meet the following criteria may be eligible to participate:

• Over the age of 18 years of age
• Reside in Australia
• Have been in an informal caring role for longer than a year
• Do not identify as a formal carer (for example, a health professional, caring due to a volunteer position

Participation involves completing an 30-minute online survey covering brief demographics of the individual's caring role followed by validated and reliable measures of the above constructs.
