Dear parents,
I am a doctoral researcher in psychology at the University of Strathclyde and am currently researching for my PhD degree under the supervision of Dr Lisa Woolfson. Our study looks at how parents think about behaviour in their children.
What is the purpose of this study?
All children misbehave from time to time. This is a normal childhood experience. Some children however experience more of these difficult behaviours than others. We are interested in how parents think about and react to their child’s misbehaviour. This will help us understand how individual parents can be supported in dealing with various child behaviours.
Who can participate?
We are looking for parents who have a child within the ages of 6 and 12. Please note that your child does not need to experience behaviour problems for you to be able to participate. Unfortunately, at the moment we are not looking for parents of children who have ADHD, learning difficulties or other conditions. Please get in touch if you are unsure whether this applies to you or not.
What will I do in the project?
We will ask parents who take part to complete four online questionnaires. This should take around 30 minutes (but you can close it and come back at a later time; your responses will be saved). All information is anonymous. If you wish, we will send you a summary of the results of the study and you can also be included in a prize draw for a £30 voucher for a high street shop of your choice!!

Thanks for your attention!
Yours sincerely,
Myrthe Jacobs
