Kia ora koutou,

My name is Katerina and I am currently working towards a Masters Thesis in Psychology at the University of Auckland. I am in the final stretch on my thesis and still in need of a few people for my research:

- aged 45-60
- native English speakers
- no history of clinical anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc.
- not on mood enhancing medication
- no history of trauma to the brain
- no history of drug or alcohol abuse

We are looking to find out how a large sample of healthy New Zealanders perform on a small number of tasks involving social cognition (understanding what other people are thinking and feeling) and executive function (planning and problem-solving) and on measures of well-being and social connectedness. This will provide information about the normal range of performance and may provide a useful comparison in future studies involving people with neurological problems.

The study will take no longer than 1 hour of your time and you will receive a $20 Countdown voucher for participation. The study will take place at the School of Psychology, Science Centre, 23 Symonds St.

If you are interested, please email me at eger856@aucklanduni.ac.nz with a contact number and I can arrange a call to check eligibility and provide more information.

Thank you for your interest and time in reading this post!

This study has been approved by the University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee on 15/12/2023 for three years. Reference Number UAHPEC26994.

Hey team it's Jack.

Hey team it's Jack.
I want to understand what are your biggest obstacles when it comes to your particular business.

Perhaps if you are a tradie it may be finding consistent work and organising your time. If you are a cafe owner, it may be in making your food/drinks attractive, and implementing online booking while managing inventory. Or if you are a yoga instructor, your biggest challenge could be in crafting a welcoming environment and building a strong community.

If this speaks to you, I would love to hear your problems in the replies below. Cheers.
