Researchers looking for female volunteers, 16 or over (£10 payment for participation)

Effects of mood on ability to adapt cognitive processes

We are conducting a research project at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London and we are looking for participants to take part in our study. The research is investigating the effect of inducing a negative mood and how this impacts on our processing of ambiguous information. The experiment focuses on information particularly related to self-beliefs as well as beliefs to do with weight, shape and eating.

We are looking for female English-speaking volunteers aged 16 and over. Unfortunately, we cannot include people who have a history of mental health problems or who are currently receiving treatment (medication or therapy) for such problems.

If you are interested in participating and meet the above criteria please get in touch with us. You will then be e-mailed an information sheet and asked to complete a short questionnaire electronically. Following this, you may be approached to take part in further experimentation. This study involves pen and paper questionnaires and text reading on the computer screen. The session will take approximately 1.5 hours and you will be reimbursed £10 for your time and travel expenses.

If you are interested in participating or would like further information, please send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] with your contact details.

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Sook Yee Yong, Sarah Harper
