Research

Search Institute has done a great deal of research related to sparks and thriving, and is a leader in this emerging field. And while a great deal of research remains to be done, we have come a long way since we started studying sparks and thriving. We now know exactly what sparks are, why they are important, and why it’s so crucial that adults are involved and supportive.

See the pages listed below to find out more information on some of the research we’ve done, and visit Research on Thriving and Sparks for details on past and present research projects.
