New Research Study: Cognitive Styles in Mood Disorders |
| |
| |
Have You Been Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder?
If so, you may be eligible to participate in a new research study being
conducted by the Black Dog Institute and the University of New South Wales.
We are also looking for 'healthy control' participants (i.e. people who have never
experienced an episode of clinical depression over their lifetime).
What is this study about?
We are interested in the types of thinking styles and coping behaviours that
people with different types of mood disorders engage in. The way people think
about themselves, and stressful situations, can drive the types of emotions
they experience and the ways in which they cope with stress.
The best way to understand depression and bipolar disorder is to carry out
research with those who have experienced it themselves.
What will the information be used for?
The information from this study will inform research and treatment practices,
and is likely to shed light on how psychological therapy may be more effective
for those with different types of mood disorders.
What would I need to do?
You will need to have an email address that you check regularly.
The study will primarily be online, where you will be asked to fill out questionnaires
at different times over the internet. As a token of our appreciation, those who
participate will receive a Black Dog Institute book, and go in the draw to win
one of two $150 Myer Shopping Vouchers.

(Kathryn) either by phone (02 9382 9269) or email (coping@unsw.edu.au).
