Methods
This study employed a quantitative survey design to investigate [insert the specific research question or objective here, e.g., the relationship between worship participation and spiritual well-being among undergraduate, graduate students, and early-stage faculty]. A total of 21 participants, comprising undergraduate students, graduate students, and early-stage faculty members, were recruited for the study. The sampling method was [specify the sampling method used, e.g., convenience sampling, purposive sampling]. Inclusion criteria were [list the specific criteria for participant selection, e.g., current enrollment/employment status, regular attendance at worship services]. Exclusion criteria were [list any criteria that excluded potential participants, e.g., prior participation in similar studies, inability to complete the survey].
Participants
The sample consisted of 21 participants (N=21). The demographic breakdown of the sample was as follows: [Provide specific demographic information, including the number of participants in each category. For example: 8 undergraduate students (38.1%), 7 graduate students (33.3%), and 6 early-stage faculty members (28.6%). Include information on gender, age range (if appropriate and ethical considerations allow), and any other relevant demographic variables].
Instrumentation
The primary data collection instrument was a [describe the type of survey, e.g., self-report questionnaire] titled "[Insert Survey Title]".

[If applicable, include information about the reliability and validity of the instrument, citing relevant sources. For example: The reliability of the questionnaire was established through Cronbach's alpha (α = .85), indicating good internal consistency. The validity of the instrument has been previously demonstrated in [cite relevant studies]].
Procedure
Participants were recruited through [explain the recruitment methods used, e.g., announcements in relevant university departments, email invitations]. Informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to their participation in the study. The survey was administered [explain how the survey was administered, e.g., online via Qualtrics, in person]. Participants were given approximately [state the estimated time] to complete the survey.
