Methodology We predict we’ll find that virtue develops naturally in people in ways that are shaped by their goals and strategies.
But can we encourage the development of virtue? Self-Authoring Intervention
Free imagination Then, structured guide (ours will include instructions to think about character-related goals:
what kind of person will you be in your ideal future?) Exploratory part of study

Challenges Methodological Challenges Epistemological (Integration) Challengeso How will we define virtues and will we have the same thresholds? o Preserving relevance to the big questions through the increasing specificity needed
for empirical work. Recall the question: How are Virtue and Well-Being Related?

Identify shared key features of normative notions Operationalize with attention to the underlying theories Gather and analyze data Draw out implications for various evaluative and theoretical
perspectives.
