1,849 U.S. parents and adolescents participated in a survey measuring adherence to Cardinal virtues and its relationship to mental health. The dataset, created by Jonathan Rothwell and hosted on Harvard Dataverse, was last updated in May 2026. It also includes findings from the Global Flourishing Project, which surveyed 202,730 adults across 22 countries.
