I loved taking this poll! The questions really pressed my thinking.

Great poll - made me think a LOT more about my life! I have been very lucky and would hope to share with others.

I've completed the survey (which, by the way, was terrific!) and will forward this to friends.

This poll has already fueled a lively round of e-mails with my college friends. Very thought provoking, and enjoyable, too. Thanks

This has been terrifically thought provoking: I spent almost two hours thinking about these questions. They are hard questions, and very good questions. Some of my answers make me feel guilty.

I'm eager to see the results! These questions will prompt some discussions tonight w/ my husband!

I think this survey was as valuable for me to learn about myself and to think about my values, goals and accomplishments as it will be for you to conduct your research. Thanks!

I appreciate that these questions were not only thought-provoking, but that they really applied to me and my life and, in so doing, made me realize that most women my age are going through the same things that I am.

Thanks for including me. This really helped me to be honest with myself and the problems I am currently facing in my life.

This is a thought provoking tool that helps you look into a mirror and get a clear picture of what had been accomplished and what tasks are still left to be completed.

Frankly, it was a lot of fun to complete. I think everyone should be forced to take that kind of self-evaluation of sorts on a yearly basis, if only to remind everyone where they are, how they got there, and whether they want to be somewhere else ;) I'm curious how it will turn out.

I think I may have learned more about myself than you did about me.

What a great poll!!! Very thought provoking. I can't wait to hear the results.

This is a terrific poll--though it sounds hokey, it really made me think about my life in a way that I hadn't before. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to participate.

These questions allowed me to be introspective and really think about my life and how it has been in the past few months. Many surveys are more cold and dry, but this poll asked me questions that I believe are important for each person to think about. I'm glad this study is being conducted because the field of psychology needs to study these aspects of positive psychology more frequently.

Shauna, This is fantastic! How fascinating. I would be happy to respond, and I will send this on to all my female friends and coworkers. Thanks for sending this along, and let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist.

Hi gals - a friend from Harvard is doing some research on women and their professional lives - REALLY interesting and makes you think... anyway, if you have a second, please take the survey to assist her in her research efforts!

This is great! Really makes you think.

I'm interested in the results (especially about the spouse chore breakdown)

A wonderful chance for self-reflection that has actually helped me define some goals!

This was great fun - thanks!

This was a great opportunity for self-reflection!

Your research is fascinating, timely and of extraordinary importance. I'll be sure to fill out the survey when I have a block of time to concentrate on it and I'll get the word out to my friends and colleagues as well. Thanks for getting in touch.

Thanks--so glad you're gathering this data!

This was such an intriguing set of questions. They made me reflect on my life and on things that I never really think about...

I completed your survey and found it very fun and interesting. I think the format was user friendly. I much preferred being given choices, rather than just having to fill out blank spaces like many surveys.

I wanted to share with you that your poll really brought about a good discussion between my husband and I. Very interesting and I appreciate the chance we had to discuss these issues!

Very interesting - makes you think on a different level

Very interesting, thought provoking, interested in staying connected on the results.

I'm happy to help with your survey and will pass it along to friends. I appreciate the work you're doing and look forward to hearing what you find. Thanks for reaching out.

fascinating subject matter - good luck with the research!

Hi Shauna- What a fascinating project, I would love to take part and help spread the word. Good luck with the research.

i hope it brings some insight into how women can improve themselves and their role in society.

Good luck! I thought you did a great job of being thoughtful in the question responses, so that there was nearly always an answer that I thought was applicable to me. Given the emotional content of the subject matter, I imagine it was very difficult to do this well, so kudos to you.

Really thought provoking - thanks.

Fun! Good luck with your research.

I look forward to reading the results!

Very well set-up. Congratulations!

Would love to see some of the results - very interesting survey to complete

Very excited about this poll! Thanks for conducting it.

Thanks for the wonderful poll!

It's definitely thought provoking and forces you to be honest about issues you don't normally think about!

It provoked some introspection, which is always valuable!

I'd like to take it again in a year to see how / if the answers are different.

Overall it's great. Good material for reflection!

This has been very thought-provoking. Thank you!

I liked how the questions really made me think about my priorities.

it really helped me see myself better

Dear Shauna, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in your lifestyle poll. I completed it just now and also completed some of the open-ended questions. Very thought-provoking. I relished the opportunity to articulate some of my core beliefs and how my past experiences have been significant to me. Please let me know if you have other questions or if you need people to interview. I would be happy and interested to participate further.

Great poll. I really enjoyed thinking about the questions and even sharing some of them with my husband!

Thought-provoking. I'd like to know what the results show.

I think this is a worthwhile project, and I really appreciate your taking the time to hear what we have to say. Good luck!

thanks so much and good luck with your work!

Interesting survey, curious what exactly is being looked for and how similar women my age are in long term goals, past success/regret, etc

very interesting, thanks!!

Thank you for inviting me to do this. I wish you the best of luck with this project.

I participated in the poll. Interesting questions!

It was interesting to think about those questions. Would love to see the results if you write a book. thanks!

I completed your survey and just wanted to tell you what a wonderful topic it is! I see many women our age, and so many have same conflicts between work, home, and personal life. I look forward to reading your book when it comes out-- I'm sure you'll have learned a lot from everyone who responds, and I'd love to know what other women are doing to find balance in their lives!

You mentioned some questions below, the one that really caught my eye was "How do you handle attractions to people outside of your marriage?" This is an issue I deal with on an almost daily basis, yet I don’t see this struggle reflected much in our pop culture, so it's nice to be validated and I will be interested to see other women's responses.

I think the subject is really interesting and look forward to reading your findings!

This sounds like very important work and I will definitely participate by taking the survey.

The issues your raise are many we've talked about in my classes, and I plan to pass this along to my classmates as a personal extension of that work.
