Ever self harm when happy, proud etc? RESEARCH. *Contains SI*
 

Please note that I have the moderators' permission to post this here. Also, please note that this survey contains only one question! :-D (plus a couple of optional questions about age and gender etc)


















I am aware that members of online groups may have been contacted by people who appear to be posing as health professionals, or whose requests raise suspicion regarding the purpose of the research. Consequently, I would like to emphasise the following points:

· I am conducting this research as part of my PhD degree in psychology, being undertaken at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia.
· The chief investigator (Dr Penelope Davis) is my PhD supervisor, and has had many years’ experience in conducting, supervising, and publishing research.
· The research has been approved by Griffith University’s ethical review board.
· The survey does not mention any pharmaceutical companies or treatments.
· The survey does not ask any questions about your identity or address, and your responses cannot be traced to you.
· The survey does not attempt to involve you in any groups, financial schemes, or further research.
· Participation will not cost you anything (other than the cost of using the internet).

I hope you are able to get some responses. This is not something I have experienced so can't help out, sorry. x

I plan to respond as quickly as possible. Hope it'll be what you need!

Also, I'd love to hear about the results once the survey is complete ^_^;

I hope what I submitted helps and good luck :)

I'll respond to it in a moment, I'm sorry if it's a bit disjointed or random; I'm not very good at open-answered questions (as my school exams proove, haha), but I'll try my best. :)

Edit: Finished; I hope my answers helped some.

I just took the survey. I hope it helps. :)
I'd like to see the results once you're finished. How can I do that?

I'd also love to be able to see what the results were, if that's okay. :)

I did the survey as well, like others would love to know the results :)

damn, i used to do that but it's been about 3 years since then. sorry, hope you get enough results :)

Thanks everyone. Those of you who would like to know about the results - I'll add your names to my list and will inform you when results are available.

In your responses, many of you have said "I'm not sure if this is relevant... I hope this helps." YES! It all helps and is all relevant :-) I am grateful to receive responses from anyone who is willing to tell me anything about their self harm that relates to any positive emotion. Any information is very gratefully received, and I am thankful to every single one of you who has responded.

Kind regards,
Andy.

Could I be added to your list regarding the results please?

Thanks.

Hi all, just a quick note to let you know that I will be closing the questionnaire in approximately one week, so this is your last chance to take part in this research.

Thanks again for your interest and / or participation. I really appreciate your willingness to share your stories with me.

Kind regards,
Andy.

This sounds really interesting. Let me know how it turns out.
Thanks :)

I would be interested to know the results as well.

Can't help with the survey but would love to know the outcomes

Hi, this was really interesting and I just responded. Glad you posted a reminder or I never would have found your study.

Can I be added to the list of people who get to find out about the results, pretty please? :-)

Thanks everyone. I've recorded the usernames of everyone who has asked to be notified of the results.

The survey regarding self harm and positive emotion is open for 5 more days. It would be fabulous to get a few more responses, so please feel welcome to pass on the info to anyone else who may be interested - people do not have to be members of RYL in order to take part.

A short answer is fine, so is a long answer. Some people have written one sentence; others have written several paragraphs. Every response is very helpful.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Andy.
