This research study aims to understand more about how and what Australian Defence Force (ADF) veterans learn during their transition from the military to civil society.

Interviews are being conducted with ADF veterans where they will be asked to discuss their learning experiences throughout their military service and during their transition.

Researchers from the Forensic and Clinical; Cognition Lab at Flinders University are seeking Adolescent participants (aged 14-17) for a study on Social Media and Wellbeing

If you agree for your child to participate in the research study, they will be asked to:

Complete a single 15–20-minute online survey where they will complete a series of questionnaires covering a range of issues related to:

• Social media engagement (e.g., “In the last 7 days how many days did you use social media”)
• Demographics (e.g., "What is your age?")
• Their general wellbeing and mental health (e.g., "I feel sad or empty").

Complete a daily diary (a 7-day 5-minute survey) where they will complete a series of questions each day including an assessment of:

• Their mood (e.g., “To what extend did you feel upset?”)
• Frequency of social media use (e.g., "On average, how many hours do you think you spent on social media today?")
• The types of social media content that they saw that day (e.g., "While browsing social media today, did you see any images or videos (including in posts, stories, videos, or lives) which included the following content: violence, graphic injury, food, animals, selfies?").
• A link to the diary survey will be sent to your child at the end of each day via text message or email.
  
  Please DO NOT agree for your child to participate in this study if you think that any of these tasks will make them distressed or upset.

The study takes place entirely online. This study will allow us to evaluate young people’s experiences with social media and their general well-being.

The sensation of breathlessness is a common symptom in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It can be debilitating and has profound effects on quality of life.  

This study will investigate how body signal (or interoceptive) attention can alter respiratory sensations in the short term by changing how the brain processes body signals and how signals are felt or ‘perceived’. The protocol will be tested in healthy participants and subsequently, participants with COPD who experience breathlessness more frequently.

To participate in this study:

Register your interest below and an investigator will be in touch to discuss this further or answer any questions you may have.

The respiratory muscles are arguably the most important muscles in the body and are controlled by the brain to pull air into the lungs for breathing.

This study will develop better, safer methods to assess their function (i.e. their ability to pull air into the lungs, termed mechanics) and how the brain controls muscle activity (i.e. which muscles get more/less activity, termed respiratory neural drive). We want to test the mechanics and function of the respiratory in both healthy participants and participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

To participate in this study:

Register your interest below and an investigator will be in touch to discuss this further or answer any questions you may have.

In this two-part study you must complete both parts successfully within 24 hours to receive your payments.

For Part 1, you will study 3 magazine-style articles.  If you are eligible, you will also receive a link to Part 2. You must complete Part 2 within 24 hours of Part 1. For Part 2, you will study 3 more articles and then your memory for all 6 articles will be tested using multiple-choice questions.

Note, only people with a Flinders University login can participate in this survey.

The study will involve thinking about a negative event in your life.

We strongly suggest that if you believe you may be overly distressed by thinking about a negative event that you DO NOT participate in this experiment.

What happens during the study?

Participants will be asked to do a face-to-face experiment. In the experiment, participants will be asked to pay attention to any thoughts about their negative autobiographical event and complete a series of relevant questionnaires, thought monitoring and a computer task. 

How long will it take?

The face-to-face experiment will take an hour to complete.
