Research opportunity for autistic adults
We received this request for participants to assist in furthering knowledge surrounding the social well-being of autistic individuals. The researcher provided a copy of the ethical approval she received for the research project.
"My name is Kristina Saunders, and I am an undergraduate student in the Department of Psychology and Health Studies at the University of Saskatchewan supervised by Dr. Melanie Morrison. I am currently working on a research project which looks at autistic individuals’ elementary school experiences and social well-being; the project also will ask whether a particular event from elementary school still impacts them as adults. I am hoping that autistic individuals (either diagnosed with autism or self-identifying as autistic) who are aged 18 or older will participate in the anonymous online survey.
Participants will be asked to fill out some brief online questionnaires related to elementary school experience, social well-being, and event centrality, which should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. This research project has been approved on ethical grounds by Psy-REC on November 18th, 2023. In appreciation of their time, participants may enter a draw to win their choice of one of three $50 Amazon or iTunes gift cards. The survey will close on March 1, 2024.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact me at ksm183@usask.ca.
