Taking part in research

We regularly carry out research on paranoid thinking, trying to increase the understanding of their causes. If you have paranoid thoughts from time to time, or even if you don't, we are often keen for research participants. Sometimes this means simply filling in some questions, which can be done via email. Sometimes we carry out studies with participants in our psychology department in London. Every study receives ethical approval before we carry it out and information sheets are available for each specific study.
