Hi my name is Wendy and I am a trainee clinical psychologist currently in my third year at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK. I am conducting a study looking at the link between the way we experience our childhood and the impact it can have on our current adult lives. As such I am looking for participants aged 25 years or over to take part in this study. It is totally anonymous and confidential.

The research is being conducted online (the attached link below takes you directly to it) and will involve filling in a range of short questionnaires, which will take around 20 minutes to complete altogether. The aim of the research is to capture a wide range of childhood experience; therefore the study is relevant to you whether you had a very happy childhood with no problems or whether you had a very difficult and unhappy childhood. This work is all part of my final Doctorate qualification and the study has been given full ethical approval by the UEA Institute of Health Ethics Committee.

If you would like to ask me more about it please feel free to email me at childhood.experience@uea.ac.uk. In addition if you find this interesting and can think of other people you know who might also want to help with the project, please feel free to forward this message on to them.

Thank you for your time over this, it really is appreciated. Please click on the attached link below now if you would like to continue further with the study.

I enjoyed taking the test. It's always interesting to confront childhood memories

Thanks for all the interest and support over this. Just to let you know the study is now closed to participants. I will be posting a summary of the results when they are complete, so bear with me as it will be a few months.
