Personality, dark personality, and positive mood - study requires volunteers

Study of the relationship between general personality, positive mood, and the darker side of personality needs participants

I am running a study with colleagues from the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia (Professor Del Paulhus and Dr Dan Jones). We are examining where positive mood fits in relation to general and darker aspects of personality. The on-line asessment procedure takes 10 minutes, and no information other than your responses is stored, so all responses are confidential. Please participate, and do ask your non-university friends to participate as well.

Many thanks,

Professor Vincent Egan (Director, MSc Forensic Psychology, University of Leicester)

Research Participants Needed for a Quick Decision Making Study

Researchers in the 'Judgement and Decision Making' group in the School of Psychology at the University of Leicester are currently seeking participants (who are between the ages of 18 and 65 years old and are not studying Psychology) to take part in a study that investigates how people make decisions under uncertainty, by playing a gambling type game. The experiment will take 15-20 minutes and participants will have the chance to win up to £4.50. The study will take place in the Maurice Shock Building, MSB LG43 (please let me know if you do not have access to the building I can meet you at reception).

If you are interested in taking part then please click the following link to book yourself a time slot:
