Take the Heroism Attitudes Survey

What’s heroism? What’s altruism? What’s the difference? Can there be “everyday” heroes?

Researchers from the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology and Stanford University are seeking participants to complete a survey about “public opinions of selfless actions that people take.” The Heroism Attitudes Survey is part of a study being conducted by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University and author of The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil, Kathy Blau and Zeno Franco, doctoral students at Pacific, and Matt Langdon, Director of the Janus Center, about heroes, heroism and heroic behavior.

The survey is open to anyone 18 years or older who speaks English, and it takes about 15-30 minutes to complete.

Take the survey.
