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!

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
