Project Title: An examination of voluntary and involuntary autobiographical memory retrieval in autism spectrum disorder.

This study is being conducted as part of my, Dr. Barbara Dritschel, research programme at the School of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of St Andrews. (Ethics Approval code PS14174)

We invite you to participate in a research project examining how being on the autism spectrum affects how one remembers personal experiences and how one deals with such memories. We are seeking individuals who are not not on the autism spectrum to serve as controls for this study.

You will first be asked to complete several measures of individual differences assessing your mood, your tendency to engage in systematizing behaviours, executive functioning that reflects the style of manipulating, inhibiting and generating information such as numbers and letters. You will also complete a short test of verbal ability as verbal ability can influence autobiographical memory retrieval.

During completion of the memory diary, you will be asked to record a total of 10 voluntary memories and 10 automatically arising memories, maximum 2 memories per day. For each memory, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire about the characteristics of the retrieved memory, and how you relate to and cope with it.

All collected data will be confidential.

Participants will be paid £15 for their participation.

This study is being conducted as part of my, Harriet Hobday’s, Postgraduate Degree in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience. (UTREC Approval Code, PS14296).
We invite you to participate in a research project exploring the relations between the quantity and quality of social contacts, group identification, and mental wellbeing amongst university students. The survey will use established scales measuring the quantity and quality of contact with family members and fellow students, group identification, perceived stress, depressed mood and loneliness.
You will be asked to complete an online questionnaire which contains 86 questions that we anticipate will take 25 minutes to complete. The information you provide will be anonymous and held confidentially by the researcher and supervisor involved in this project. Before agreeing to participate in this research you will be given a Participant Information Sheet that will further detail my research before consenting to participate.
After completing this survey/questionnaire you will have a chance to be entered into a prize draw to win 1 of 4 x £50 Amazon vouchers.

Project Title: Investigating the relationship between coping and understanding of mixed emotions in pre-adolescence through a developmental perspective.

This study is being conducted as part of Francesca Fotheringham’s PhD in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience (ethical approval code PS14258).

Are you curious about what your child knows about emotions?

We invite your child(ren) age 8 to 13 to participate in an exciting research project exploring pre-adolescent children’s coping and grit, in relation to how they think about emotions. This is to gain a broader understanding of resilience.

The researcher will read three stories and your child(ren) will be asked to choose from a selection of emotions what they thought the person in the story felt and draw how much and for how long they thought the chosen emotions were felt. They will then be asked to complete a questionnaire on grit, a questionnaire on their emotional coping, and a questionnaire about their life experiences (e.g. moving house, moving school, and getting a younger sibling). No identifiable data will be recorded and it is anticipated that this will take no longer than 20 minutes.

You will also be asked to complete a two part questionnaire about your child(ren)’s behaviour, personality, and emotional coping. You will be provided with a detailed information sheet before you decide to take part and the questionnaires should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. All data will be anonymised and stored securely.

If you are interested, please contact Francesca Fotheringham (flf2), or her supervisors Dr Barbara Dritschel (bd9) and Dr Erin Robbins (er70).
