Research Recruitment

Participants Needed for Online Research: Life Experiences, Personality & Relationships

We are looking for volunteers to take part in an online study of the role of life experiences
(e.g., supportive family, feeling loved, being punished or abused, experiencing trauma) on
personality, relationships, and mental wellbeing.


We are looking for adults aged 18 years or older who are fluent in English and do not have a
physical brain injury or disorder (e.g., dementia).

As a participant in the study, you would be asked to do online questionnaires lasting up to 50 minutes, at your convenience. You can complete the questionnaires anytime, taking breaks, and coming back later while the study is running. For completing the survey, you will be offered a chance to be entered into a drawing for one £25 Amazon gift card (out of 20 cards available).
