Welcome to EmotionsMatter.com

UPDATE: THIS SURVEY CLOSES ON FRIDAY 25 MAY 2012.

         My name is Maina Amin and I am a trainee clinical psychologist interested in how people manage their feelings.

         This study is part of a research project looking at the different ways that people can experience emotions. 

         The project has been approved by Canterbury Christ Church University's ethics commitee.

By taking part in this survey, you are helping us to refine ways of working with people who may be distressed by their emotional reactions.  Research in this area is also of great value to how we understand human experiences.  Your responses in this survey will contribute to what we already know about emotions.

I would like to invite you to click on the link below for more information on taking part.  If you decide to participate, you can choose to be entered into a draw to receive a £50 Amazon.com voucher to spend on any purchase.

If you have any questions, you can contact me directly: M.Amin@emotionsmatter.org.uk
