Dear Don Juan Discussion Forum,
I’m a research postgraduate in the Department of Psychology at the University of Sheffield. I’m working with Professor Paul Overton. Our group has recently been working on quality of life and mental health in people with chronic illness and we’d like to extend this work to general population as our controls. Our work to date suggests that how people feel about themselves (their emotions towards their ‘self’ image and behaviour) affects their quality of life, and can directly lead to secondary mental health problems, such as depression. Using these findings, we have begun to explore methods of tackling negative feeling states people with chronic illness have towards themselves, with an aim to help them reduce depressive symptoms and improve quality of life. We would like to evaluate whether the same causal links occur between feeling states and mental well-being in healthy people, and were wondering if it might be possible to contact people through your organisation, and, if so, what steps would be necessary to make that happen. The study we envisage would involve the online administration of 4-5 short questionnaires, with possible follow-ups 6 months later. Prior approval has been obtained through our institutional ethics committee.
Please do let me know if you need any further information at this stage.
With best wishes,
Haffiezhah

Senior participants wanted for a study on emotion and wellbeing
I am a PhD student in the Department of Psychology and as part of my research I am looking for volunteers age 40 years old and above to take part in an online study exploring the relationship between emotional responses and psychological wellbeing. Our group has recently been working on quality of life and mental health in people with chronic illness and we’d like to extend this work to general population as our controls.
The study involves filling out a series of questionnaires and will take approximately 10 minutes. All responses are anonymous and will be treated confidentially.
If you are interested in taking part in the research, please use the following link to access the study pages, find out more information and to take part:

Your submission to the Department of Psychology Ethics Sub-Committee (DESC) entitled "Examining the role of self-disgust in depression among cancer patients: a quantitative investigation" has now been reviewed. The committee believed that your methods and procedures conformed to University and BPS Guidelines.
I am therefore pleased to inform you that the ethics of your research are approved. You may now commence the empirical work.
Yours sincerely,
