This study is being conducted as part of my (Meng Zhang, aka Logan) PhD research project at the School of Psychology and Neuroscience.

The study aims to explore how people react in a flood. We invite you to participate in an experiment where you will experience a simulated flood, and some scenarios adapted from previous field studies in 2018. In the experiment, you will need to report your feelings and perceptions of the event, and you will also need to make choices in certain scenarios.

You should be at least 17 years old and should not have experienced a flood before.

The experiment will take no more than 30 minutes and it is conducted in the Social Immersion Lab. You will be reimbursed with £3.

We invite you to participate in a research project investigating the link between understanding what others feel, believe and think, and solving social problems.

The study consists of two sessions. In the first session, you will be asked to fill out a demographic questionnaire, and you will be interviewed using structured clinical interviews during the screening stage to assess your mood state. Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria will be invited to fill in measures of thinking style, communication flexibility and personality. Afterwards you will be asked to complete tests of cognitive and executive functioning, such as the Stroop test. In the second session, you will be invited to complete measures of social functioning, assessing social problem-solving and the ability to understand what others think, believe or feel.

Please note that participation in this study will not result in any formal diagnosis.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for students aged 18 to 35 years, fluent in English, who have never been diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder, Psychotic Disorder, a learning or reading disability, disorder or difficulty, or a traumatic brain injury, and who have been experiencing low mood in the past 2 weeks.

If you decide to withdraw or do not meet the inclusion criteria, you will be reimbursed for the time you contributed to the next full 15-minute increment (i.e. if you participate for 35 minutes, you will be paid for 45 minutes).
