UoA Research Study Participants Needed

Kat from Epsom

Kia ora koutou,

My name is Katerina and I am currently working towards a Masters Thesis in Psychology at the University of Auckland. I am in the final stretch on my thesis and still in need of a few people for my research:

- aged 45-60
- native English speakers
- no history of clinical anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc.
- not on mood enhancing medication
- no history of trauma to the brain
- no history of drug or alcohol abuse

We are looking to find out how a large sample of healthy New Zealanders perform on a small number of tasks involving social cognition (understanding what other people are thinking and feeling) and executive function (planning and problem-solving) and on measures of well-being and social connectedness. This will provide information about the normal range of performance and may provide a useful comparison in future studies involving people with neurological problems.

The study will take no longer than 1 hour of your time and you will receive a $20 Countdown voucher for participation. The study will take place at the School of Psychology, Science Centre, 23 Symonds St.

If you are interested, please email me at eger856@aucklanduni.ac.nz with a contact number and I can arrange a call to check eligibility and provide more information.

Thank you for your interest and time in reading this post!
