Hello, I am an East Dulwich resident, clinical psychologist, and 3rd year PhD student in Developmental Psychology at Durham University. I'm currently looking for 60 adult participants (18 and over) for one of my studies, which is a (mildly!) interesting computer-based attention task. It takes about 45 minutes on a laptop that I provide, and I can meet you anywhere to do this - at your home, at my home, at a local cafe...anywhere that has wireless internet.


In the task, which is very non-traumatic, you will be asked to identify the location of vertical lines displayed briefly on the screen over a series of 8 trials. You will then watch 12 short clips of mothers and infants playing together and write something about the interactions. Finally, you will write a description of a close friend and your current romantic partner (if applicable).


My PhD research is looking broadly at mother-infant interaction and improving interventions for mothers with mental health difficulties, and this piece of work will be adding to our understanding in this area.


I've gotten full ethical approval for the project from my university, which I'd be happy to discuss with you further.


Please contact me via the ED Forum if you would like to participate or would like more information. I am recruiting through at least December 2014.

      We were trying to contact Steve on 07990904375, following this post and yet there wasn't any reply from this number. Is it a correct number to contact Steve for decoration work?

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      You might be 'amused' but obviously its something thats enough of a concern that there are specific rules in the entrance criteria to specifically disallow this, so not exactly comparative.  Aside from the flawed analysis, the idea of so much movement that there is a massive cost to the taxpayer of finding extra schooling is also unlikely.  As I noted upthread, the cost of private school education has increased dramatically in recent years.  Increases in fees over 10% per annum in some cases, so the idea that the application of VAT would drive the majority out just isn't the case.  There will be some who can't afford it any more. But then there are lots of people who couldn't afford it in the first place. Anyone who has accepted a school place in the last 2-3 years will have known this was Labour's policy, so their kids will be in year 9 by the time Labour gets in.  That would mean that only parents of those with children in years 10/11 likely to have been unaware when signing up.  They can obviously move their children for sixth form if needed.  The others shouldn't be surprised!  Those with children in juniors will need to take a view whether affordable or move to the state sector.
