We are recruiting participants for a project examining the influence of early life stress of decision-making. We were wondering if you would be able to share our project across your network to those who may have had historic ACEs or whether we would be able to post the study on your forums? This study aims to improve our understanding of how early experiences influence decision-making across our lives and inform interventions to support young people and adults.
The study is open to individuals aged 16+. If an individual chooses to take part, they will complete a short computerised game followed by two questionnaires, which should take no longer than 25 minutes. There is no deception in the task and participants are informed that they are free to withdraw at any point during the study without having to provide an explanation. The task is hosted entirely through an online platform (Gorilla.sc) and therefore the research team has no direct contact with participants. Participants will be reimbursed for their time in the form of an Amazon Gift card or PayPal transfer. This study has been approved by the Royal Holloway Ethics Committee and we can provide a confirmation of the ethics form if you wish to see a copy.

Re: Research into Decision Making
For what it's worth i have just completed this and found it interesting both in completing it and understanding the reasons behind doing the study. It made sense to me and i can see why it might be useful to publish this kind of study.
That's all not very scientifically put...but i'm sure there is a strong correlation between the two.
And...if you aren't sure then i think there were get out buttons if you didn't want to go any further with it. The questionnaire towards the 2nd half did have possibly triggering questions. so look after yourself if you decide to go ahead.
And there was meant to be a monetary reward through paypal/amazon vouchers.
