Does Scrapbooking Effect Morale?

Research suggests that scrapbooking may be a creative outlet that can be beneficial to some, especially those grieving (Karns, 2002; Kohut, 2011; Williams & Lent, 2008). This topic is important to study to help us better understand if this art form may have a particular effect on one’s outlook on life. If this shows to be the case, the information can be used to help people improve their morale. This will be a study of an individual’s experience with scrapbooking as the semester progresses. This hypothesis will be tested by having a participant scrapbook each week, and journal both before and after each session. The participant will also be given a life orientation test (LOT-R) before the first session and after each subsequent session to observe if there is any difference in the results. I anticipate my findings to show that scrapbooking does improve life outlook and morale at the finale of this project.
