Veronika Huta's Homepage
This webpage is dedicated to the following:
* The HEEMA scale (and the earlier HEMA and HEMA-R) measuring the three main ways in which people define and pursue a good life: hedonic, eudaimonic, and extrinsic orientations, along with all existing translations
* The well-being experience measures used by my lab in past research, including the three measures I developed to assess:
* Meaning experience
* Elevating experience
* Carefreeness
* Information for potential graduate students and honors thesis students
* A few interviews I've done
Please note that this webpage does not have my publications - these can be found on ResearchGate.
My CV and courses taught can be found on University of Ottawa website by clicking the following:

Information for prospective doctoral and honors thesis students
Please note that I will not be taking any additional graduate students for September 2022.
I give priority to doctoral experimental psychology students who wish pursue a career in research, but I will consider exceptional clinical candidates as well.
I am looking for students who are interested in the topics listed below, and who have an affinity for both rigorous research and theory/contemplation. No worries if you have no previous experience in these research areas. I’m interested in what you'd personally like to study if given the chance.
* eudaimonia (authenticity, meaning, excellence/virtue, growth) - this is by far my primary research area
* hedonia (pleasure, comfort)
* extrinsic orientation (money, image, status, popularity, power) as compared with eudaimonia
* elevation (awe, moral elevation, transcendence, peak experience, spiritual experience, aesthetic experience)
* aliveness (engagement, presence, mindfulness, living a full life, challenge, vitality)
* morality
* maturity
If you have an idea for a topic that is not listed, feel free to let me know and I will consider it.
I tend to give priority to novel topics, broad topics (e.g., the key terms above rather than the specific terms in parentheses), existential topics, and/or theory development.
I would also suggest that you read some of my publications on ResearchGate to get a feel for the issues we focus on in our lab and how we address them.
Looking at my departmental webpage, you may notice that I teach statistics. You do not have to love stats to be in my lab! I would like my students to become competent in statistics, but it doesn't have to be a major focus for you. In addition, we have recently begun to use mixed methods in most of the research in our lab - I believe that qualitative methods play an invaluable role in gaining insight.
