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!

Bill anxiety?

The Team from NZ Compare

You're not alone. But guess what? You have more POWER than you think!

It is no secret that Kiwis are struggling more and more with the cost of living. Grocery prices, fuel and many other bills are all rising steadily.

It can feel overwhelming and like it’s hard to keep up and stay on top of things. It’s also easy to feel powerless. But the good news is that you actually have more power than you think.

Let us help you to take back control and SAVE on your bills!
