Dog Care Survey ::

Jill White
University of Southampton

This study is being conducted by the University of Southampton, School of Psychology as part of on-going research on dog owners and their dogs. It will take about 20 minutes to complete. In this study, you will be asked to complete a number of questions which explore your personality characteristics, family background, attitude towards dog ownership and how that relates to your interaction with your dog. It is hoped that this information will improve our understanding of the role of an owner's caregiving on their dog's behaviour. Do you currently own a dog? Are you the primary carer for your dog in your household (i.e. are you the one who usually feeds and walks the dog)? Is at least one of your dogs over the age of 18 months? If you have answered yes to these questions, we would be grateful if you could complete the following questionnaire. It will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. The results of this study may be presented at conferences and may be submitted for publication in academic journals. All your responses will be completely anonymous. You will not be identifiable in any reports or publications that may result from this study. This study has been presented to and received approval from the Ethics Committee of the University of Southampton (approval reference: PG/04/56)

Discover your strengths. Become happier. Win money. ::

Warren Davies
University of East London

The experiment involves identifying your personal strengths using an online questionnaire, and then using some of these strengths in new and different ways for one week, to see if this has any effect on how you feel. In similar studies done in the past, people became happier and less depressed when doing this, and I expect the same to happen in this experiment. You will be sent all the instructions and all the questionnaires you need by email, which you will complete and email back to me. Upon completion of the experiment in 1 week, you will be entered into a prize draw to win £30. What you are required to commit to: 1. Complete some questionnaires taking around 1 hour 2. Use your personal strengths in different ways over a period of 1 week (full instructions will be given for this) 3. Complete some questionnaires at the end of the 1 week period, taking around 20 minutes 4. Complete some follow up questionnaires in 1 month, taking 10-15 minutes What you will gain: 1. You will be entered into a prize draw to win £30 2. Knowledge of your personal strengths 3. In previous experiments in this area, people were found to be happier, less depressed, and experience more positive emotions If you are interested, visit www.strengthsresearch.co.uk

Dissociation and Second Life ::

Francesca Collins
Monash University

Dissociation is when conscious mental processes are compartmentalised from each other. For example, day-dreaming, zoning out while playing computer games and holding a conversation while driving in heavy traffic all involve dissociation of consciousness. The Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) has been used to measure dissociation for over twenty years. I have found that the questionnaire is equally valid and reliable whether it is delivered via pen and paper or via the Web. Now I would like to find out whether it is just as valid and reliable when delivered in a virtual world like Second Life. Participation involves completing the DES, a 28-question questionnaire which takes about 10 minutes to complete and can be done in your own time. All you need is access to Second Life.
this study takes place in the virtual world, Second Life.
