We are looking for people to help us research why some people find it difficult to stop thinking repeatedly about negative topics. For example, this negative thinking can take the form of thinking over and over about upsetting things in the past, or about why you are feeling so bad. By taking part in this research, you will be helping a wider research program to develop better treatments for people who engage in repetitive negative thinking and for those with anxiety and depression.
We need participants who:
- find themselves repeatedly Mulling over past events or concerns
- are 18-65 years old
- are fluent in English
If you would like to take part, you will first be asked to complete a short questionnaire that will help us determine your suitability for the study. The rest of the study will involve two visits to our research centre in Denmark Hill, South London and 3 weeks of online sessions at home. These home sessions will involve listening to a series of short audio clips then answering quick questions about them, as well as a few other short tasks. There will be 3 sessions to do per week and each home session lasts around 30 Mins. The study pays 130 pounds in total and this will be paid in cash and vouchers.
We are currently looking for people to take part who are able to come in for the first session at Denmark Hill in the next few weeks. If you are available and interested in getting involved then we will send you our short questionnaire. If the questionnaire indicates that you might meet our criteria, we will arrange a call to check in more detail whether you are eligible for the study. If you do meet the eligibility criteria, we will arrange a time for you to come in to our research centre at Denmark Hill in the next few weeks.
If you are interested in taking part, please contact Charlotte by replying to this ad. We will send you an email with more information and the link to the initial questionnaire.
