Participants wanted: Your memories matter
We are trying to understand how the way children and teenagers feel close to their guardians (called ‘attachment style’) affects how they remember past events (like birthdays or special trips, called ‘autobiographical memory’) and how these memories may be linked to feeling low or sad.
Description: Guardians will be asked a few short questions about your child’s background and experiences of low mood. Children will be asked about their own experiences of low mood and attachment style, and they will also complete some short tasks with our experimenters to look at their vocabulary, matrix reasoning, and memory.
Who: Children (aged 9-12), adolescents (aged 13-16), and their guardians.
Where: Online meetings, at a time convenient to you and your child. A computer or laptop (or tablet with keyboard and camera) is needed.
Time: Two sessions: Session 1 – 30 minutes, and Session 2 – 35 minutes.
Incentive: As a thank you for taking part, you and your child will receive a £20 Blackhawk e-gift card, which can be used in bookstores like Waterstones.
