I'm a trainee clinical psychologist studying at the University of East Anglia in the UK. I am currently carrying out some research on fathers. In particular, I'm interested in fathers who were present at their child's birth and it has been at least 3 months since their child was born.
Fathers, up until recently have been quite neglected in psychological research on parenting. I'm hoping to change this! However, I need a large number of participants for my research to make it valid and meaningful. To hopefully increase the numbers of people who are willing to participate I am carrying out the research on the internet. Once the study is completed (hopefully by July 2006), I can offer feedback and information about the study.
The study has been given full ethical approval by the UEA ethics committee and is totally anonymous. All information given by participants will be encrypted so no one else can access this information. I do not need participants email addresses or names and they will be in no way identifiable to myself. Further information about the study itself is given at the web address below.
