I. Capstone Project Statement of Intent:
a) Identify the goals of the project.
The goal of my capstone project is to determine whether or not meditation is an
effective treatment for mild to moderate depression.
b) Why is it important and why should we care?
Depression is a very serious and real issue that affects a lot of people, whether we're all aware of it or
not. If the treatment shows to be effective it could help a lot of people and change a lot of lives.
c) How do these goals fit with your career objectives?
I plan to go into the field of psychology. I want to major in counseling psychology and minor in
clinical psychology. What this means is I want to help people get better and feel better. That is what
this whole project is about, impacting peoples lives and helping them get to a better place.
d) How does your project give back to society?
Like I said before, if the experiment shows that meditation is an effective treatment for depression, it
could help people and change their lives for the better. I obviously want to impact a lot of peoples
lives, but if this project just helped one person, I would be happy with that.
