Psychological research
OP - November 21, 2009, 12:13 AM

Hello all,

Sorry to intrude on your thread with this request.

I would like to ask your assistance in finding participants from the ex-muslim council for a short psychological study taking place in January / February at the University of Westminster. I am interested in how ex-muslims substitute the many apparent benefits of being part of the muslim community such as community support, beliefs that help people cope with issues such as bereavement and injustice and so on.

The research is at its very beginning so will involve a one hour interview which can be anonymous and a legally-binding confidentiality agreement will be signed by me.

I need 10 participants. The interviews will take place at the University of Westminster, Regents Street at any time to suit the participant.

Please can you let me know if there is a way to advertise this? There is no payment but I hope the interview process itself will be beneficial and this will help psychologists better understand why some people leave religion and why others live with religion as a principle part of life.

I look forward to your response. Please email me on alya1979@hotmail.co.uk.

Kind regards,

Alya Shakir

That's a fascinating project, Psych. I'd love to keep in touch regarding your findings..I'm in the US so I can't mosey on over to UofW that easily.

Nice to see you here. What is your stance on religion - Care to make an introduction about yourself?

A few questions

1 Are you doing an MSc/PhD?
2 Where are you with your project at the moment?
3 Do you see any linkage yet?
4 If you want to do some quantitiative ananlyss you might want to see if there are any links with Myers Briggs results which a few have posted here and another part of this site
5 Has their been any previous work on this subject?

Also be sure to keep us posted as I find this subjet is interesting.
