Dear
everyone
As
you are probably aware, classes for PSYC3014 next week have been cancelled due
to Dr Pitman being away at the ICP 2012. On Monday, I approached the class to invite
anyone who would be interested to please consider participating in my pilot
study for my PhD during this time:
*Why?: I am in
the process of piloting my instruments for my study and therefore need a sample
that is ‘psychometrically’ aware, which you, as third year Psychology students,
are. My topic is based in cognitive psychology (different approaches to
cognitive problem solving), so I also thought you might find it interesting.
*Any benefits?: All
students who complete the questionnaires will get (a) brief individual feedback
regarding an aspect of their personal learning style; (b) entry into a draw to
win prizes (first prize is a netbook or laptop*; you will need to keep your
informed consent sheet*)
*What to do?:
participating will involve completing a set of questionnaires that should take
approx. 1 hour in one sitting, as well as completing a short additional
questionnaire that should take about 10 mins (most of this questionnaire can be
completed at the same time as the main set; however there is one question you
will only be able to answer once you have your feedback)
*When?: Wednesday
25th July in U2 between 8h00-10h00 or Thursday 26th July
between 10h15-12h00 in WB2.
*Ethics?: choosing
to participate or not to participate in the study is completely your choice and
will have no effect whatsoever on your marks or any aspect of your academic
life. Your answers will be anonymous.
*For
more details, please consult the full informed consent sheet:
If you would be willing to consider
participating in my research I would hugely appreciate it.
Thanks
and kind regards,
Nicky
