Abstract

The point of the study is to see a possible relationship between the use of communal resources and wellness. The research question was how do communal resources relate to wellness? The hypothesis was the more one uses communal resources the higher their wellness will be. The sample was college students at the University of Northern Iowa (n=71). The results showed that the hypothesis was not supported. Other information regarding the knowledge of communal resources and their use of them showed that when people are advertised to about communal resources they are more likely to use them; more so than if they sought out the resources on their own.

The hypothesis was the more one uses communal resources the higher their wellness will be. The sample was college students at the University of Northern Iowa (n=71). The results showed that the hypothesis was not supported. Other information regarding the knowledge of communal resources and their use of them showed that when people are advertised to about communal resources they are more likely to use them; more so than if they sought out the resources on their own.
