SOCIAL ANXIETY IN A CONNECTED WORLD - RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS NEEDED
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Participate in Research!
SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
Faculty of Life and Social Sciences
CONSENT INFORMATION STATEMENT
Title: Obsessive compulsive disorder: attachment and beliefs about the self.
Investigators
Dr Richard Moulding, Supervisor
Jude Allamby, Student Investigator
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder that is characterised by the repeated occurrence of intrusive thoughts and by compulsive actions. The purpose of the current study is to extend research into the current models of OCD through asking about beliefs about self and relationships.
Please note we are seeking people without a diagnosis of OCD to do this research. If you have OCD you are free to continue although you may find some questions to be confronting.
Participation in this research involves completing an anonymous survey. The survey involves a series of questions about yourself in relation to others and some demographic details. It should take around 30 minutes to complete. Please note that some questions about sensitive topics will be asked in this study. If you are uncomfortable with this you may wish not to participate (e.g., symptoms of depression and OCD, experiences of close relationships, and views you have about yourself).
If you decide to participate in this research, please complete the anonymous online survey. It is important that you understand that your participation in this study must be voluntary. You are free to discontinue participation at any time.
The results of this study will form the basis for the thesis of the student investigator. It may also be published in an academic journal or presented at academic conferences. Only grouped results would be published and no individual’s responses would be identifiable. Data for this study will be securely stored for a period of seven years before being destroyed.
If you have any questions about this project, please contact:
Dr Richard Moulding, Lecturer, Swinburne University of Technology, (03) 9214 4686, rmoulding@swin.edu.au.
