Male research participants desperately needed!! Prizes to be won!
Masters Thesis Research:
You are invited to participate in the research project investigating the relationship between adverse childhood experiences, coping strategies, and thinking patterns among adult males in New Zealand. The aim of the project is to determine the relationship between childhood events, coping styles and adult thinking patterns. If you are a MALE OVER THE AGE OF 18 you will be eligible to participate.
As a form of incentive for participating, you are welcome to provide your email address at the end of the questionnaire to go into the draw to win a choice of supermarket, mall or petrol voucher. A total of 17 incentives will be rewarded.
10 winners will receive a $20 voucher of their choice
4 winners will receive a $50 voucher of their choice
2 winners will receive a $100 voucher of their choice
1 winner will receive a $200 voucher or their choice
Note: winner is to select between a supermarket, mall or petrol voucher for the value won.
The project is being carried out as a requirement for a Masters Thesis by Joy Chao at the University of Canterbury under the supervision of Dr Sarah Christofferson, who can be contacted at 03 364 2987 ext. 7952. She will be pleased to discuss any concerns you may have about participation in the project. Participation is voluntary and you have the right to withdraw at any stage without penalty. The questionnaire is anonymous, and you will not be identified as a participant. You may withdraw your participation, including withdrawal of any information you have provided, until your questionnaire has been added to the others collected. Because it is anonymous, it cannot be retrieved after that.
If you choose to take part in this study, your involvement in this project will be to complete an online questionnaire which will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Below is an anonymous link to the questionnaire.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
