Fwd: Invitation:participate in survey study about musical autobiographical memories



We are looking for participants for a PhD study that is investigating the relationship between music and autobiographical memories. The study is a fun online survey that anyone (18+) can participate in. It takes around 30 minutes to complete and involves listening to short clips of popular songs over the years, and reporting on memories you may have associated with those songs.

Here is the link to the survey: https://goldpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b7qg08hDEkrHx5Q

By participating, you can enter to win one of 3 £20 cash vouchers that will be distributed when data collection is completed. Additionally, I am designing a computational arts/data visualisation project that will create unique abstracted visuals based on details of reported memories which will be live in the near future.

The study has been approved by the by the Goldsmiths Psychology Department Ethics committee. Feel free to share the survey with anyone who may be interested. If any questions or concerns contact me at s.nawaz@gold.ac.uk.
