optimistic Invitation to participate in on-line research study (Links Below)
Hi!I'm currently doing some research for my MSc project*, which is looking at some aspects of attitudes and personality, such as eating habits, thoughts and emotions, as well as some of the effects of meditation. You don't have to be a meditator to take part, however!
I'm looking for volunteers who would like to take part in the study. It will be available online in the next few weeks, and will consist of some questionnaires (about 20 mins) and two very short experiments (less than 5 minutes each).
This study has had Ethical Approval from the Psychology Ethics Committee (University of Hertfordshire).
In total, participation should take around 30 minutes, and can be done wherever you have an internet connection and a Flash plug-in (most computers have this already).
We are going to submit this research to an academic journal so that it can be published, and the results will be available to anyone who is interested. If are interested in taking part, please click the links below. Do pass it on to anyone you know who might be interested, or please feel free to contact me if you would like more information, with no obligation to take part at any stage.Thanks for your time!
Below are the 'instructions' and links for the study. There are four links, the first of which will take you to the information and questionnaire page, and should take around 30 minutes to complete. The two next links will take you to two very short experiments (less than 5 minutes each).
Once you have completed these parts, you can go to the final link, which will tell you about the study in more detail. Please don't click on this before taking part! Where you're asked to enter name and group, please just enter your name - you can leave 'group' blank.
Please click here to being the study!
Warmest Regards,
