Ok guys, this is important and I am asking for your help! I am taking Psych144 at school this semester and it involves a semester-long research project that is complete and official and moderated by the university. I have chosen to study memory as it relates to pituitary tumors and treatment such as surgery and radiation for these tumors. I have been spending nearly two months researching and collecting information and let me tell you, it has been both fascinating and irritating! I don't want to go into a lot of detail about what I've found yet because I don't want to bias my study. I will afterwards though. I'm still in the process of writing the bulk of the paper and getting my research methods approved by the university but I would like to get an idea of how many volunteers I can find here. It would be a completely voluntary (you can withdraw at any time if you wish) and confidential study in which I would email or mail you some questionairres. You would then fill them out and email or mail them to me. That simple! I will of course send all participants a copy of my final research report and data findings as well as anyone else who wishes to read it. Like I said, I'm still writing, researching and creating my questionaires. It will probably be close to another month before that is all done and I get the final approval go-ahead green light from the university once they're sure it is fully ethical and scientific. Hope to hear from lots of you! I'm looking for at least 40 volunteers, preferably more. That's why I'm beginning the recruiting process even before I'm ready to send out the questionaires. The more volunteers we have, the more accurate the study will be! Maria Ramey |
