Me-We S.T.U.A.R.T. contextual sheet
This questionnaire is part of the Me-We program and belongs to the Empathy mapping procedure. The information provided in this research will only be shared with the Me-We-World team for practical research purposes.
About Empathy mapping
One of the most powerful tools from the Me-We frame is the Human Conditions / Empathy Map. This instrument is inspired by the intuition of Christian Pankhurst (Heart IQ) who describes 6 aspects (conditions) of life in human relationships to experience peace as a person. These aspects (conditions) are Safety, Trust, Understanding, Awareness, Relaxation and Tenderness in an abbreviation: S.T.U.A.R.T.
The Me-We team has further interpreted/ elaborated these aspects. In the Me-We system each aspect is called a human condition that is linked to a value of life. Through this model various problems/challenges in daily life can be evaluated.

In this questionnaire, we evaluate how people relate to S.T.U.A.R.T. as individuals in their community.

About the question setup
In this questionnaire we first provide a general definition and context of the concept that the question will be asked about. Below we indicate how that same concept is interpreted within the Me-We vision.The questionnaire consists of open questions that are combined with multiple choice questions. Completing this questionnaire takes an average of 30 minutes.
Condition: Safety> Value Autonomy
Meaning
Safety is a state of being protected from potential harm or something that has been designed to protect and prevent harm.

According to Me-We Safety is based on the ability one has of maintaining Autonomy
(-/+) Autonomy
1: the quality or state of being self-governing especially: the right of self-government The territory was granted autonomy. 2: self-directing freedom and especially moral independence personal autonomy. 3: a self-governing state. What is an example of autonomy?
The definition of autonomy is independence in one's thoughts or actions. A young adult from a strict household who is now living on her own for the first time is an example of someone experiencing autonomy. Self- government or the right of self-government; self-determination.

According to Me-We autonomy is a precondition for safety when it comes to self-actualization.
This question involves the assumption that people are aware that they are living in a community. We define the community as a group of people who have an agreement that can, for example, consist of neighbors, friends, family, colleagues, or people with the same cultural background, the town or country they live in, etc.                                                                                                  Question 1: Please define what you consider to be a community or your living environment.                          Question 2: To what extent do you experience that people in your environment/ community can develop their autonomy? Indicate why or why not? *
