Understanding how people with and without Parkinson’s manage their emotions
Emotion is part of daily life, and the way we respond to our emotions impacts our wellbeing. Researchers at the University of Reading want to investigate how people with and without Parkinson’s manage their emotions.
• 60 people without Parkinson’s
• The researchers have completed recruitment for people with Parkinson’s
To take part, you need access to a computer or laptop. Tablets (such as an iPad) can be used if connected to a keyboard (e.g., via Bluetooth).
A 1-hour online meeting with the researcher where you will:
• be screened for the study
• complete 3 thinking and memory tasks
• and 1 emotion regulation task
After the meeting, you will be asked to complete surveys within 1 week of taking part. These will take up to 35 minutes to complete.
For more information, please read the participant information sheet.

Gillian's experience of taking part in the trial
“Taking part in the study was a very interesting experience. I hadn’t thought much about how we regulate our emotions day to day, so it made me reflect on my own habits. Caroline was clearly passionate about the research and it felt good to contribute to research that could help people with Parkinson’s manage their wellbeing better. I’d definitely take part again.”
