In the wake of a changing research landscape, through an increase of digital and online studies and narratives surrounding generalisability, it is important for researchers to adapt their recruitment strategies. This article presents some hints and tips for traditional and non-traditional methods of recruitment and weighs up the pros and cons of these methods, drawing on previous research. Each study is unique in its recruitment needs, and so this roundup draws on strategies to serve a number of different project types.

In response to Covid-19, many universities and research institutions around the world suspended face-to-face interactions in preference for online research. Online data collection presents notable challenges for conducting qualitative interviews. This article discusses some key benefits and limitations to conducting interviews online compared to traditional face-to-face approaches. There is a need for up-to-date methodological guidance on conducting online interviews and balanced comparison between online and face-to-face methods. Moving research online in response to the pandemic is likely to have impacted the experiences of students and early career researchers, which may influence the direction of future qualitative research.

Rebecca J. Linnett
I am a PhD candidate in the ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership at the University of Leicester and my research is focused on how perfectionism and self-compassion affect the health and quality of life of people living with a successful kidney transplant. In March 2020, I was in the process of designing my PhD studies and applying for ethical approval when the pandemic hit, plunging the UK into a national lockdown which Leicester, in particular, did not emerge from for over a year. I have written this article to talk about the changes that this meant I had to make to my research, both in terms of the studies that I planned and the recruitment and data collection methods I employed.My PhD consists of three studies: 1) A validation of a scale of intuitive eating for use with kidney transplant recipients; 2) A systematic review of the psychometric properties of that scale; and 3) A quantitative test of a theoretical model of perfectionism in illness within the context of kidney transplant recipients. The systematic review is the only planned study that was not affected by the pandemic; the other studies required significant changes to ensure they remained feasible.

The Covid-19 pandemic in Ireland resulted in a nationwide lockdown on March 27, 2020. Previous studies have focused on the mental health issues surrounding lockdown in Ireland, but this study examines how the restrictions impacted attention levels across gender, work status, and age. We also investigated whether this impact translates into deficits in daily activities, such as driving and navigation. Self-report data were collected online from a healthy Irish sample (N= 178) between May 2020 and February 2021. Younger adults, particularly females, reported higher impact on attention, navigation and driving skills. Those working from home had difficulty focusing on work. Driving and navigation impacts were strongly associated with impact on attention. Impacts on daily activities were not universally felt and depended on work status and location, but not exercise rates. Screening for certain cognitive deficits may provide a greater understanding of the mental health issues faced in Ireland and abroad during the pandemic.

Concerns over mental health (MH) provision for children and young people (CYP) has gained momentum since being a focus of the Department of Health’s UK public health policy in 2000. Over the years, the attention on CYP MH has increased due to the degree of emotional and behavioural issues reported, and demand for improvements in provisions. This increased incidence in CYP MH wellbeing issues leaves us pondering questions as to why and what we need to do about it. This review explores how problems have arisen and how we might successfully respond to these challenges.

When I started my postgraduate career as a naïve Master’s student, I will admit that I was terrified to get things wrong. I don’t know if this stemmed from an internal fear of failure, or the external pressure of academia, but I do know that this anxiety often stopped me in my tracks. Coupled with crippling imposter syndrome, I knew this approach was not sustainable. Now, as a PhD student and Graduate Teaching Assistant, I’m able to reflect on my previous experiences and acknowledge the steps I have taken to allow to me develop my CV and change my approach to failure.

Our Meet the Supervisors section is aimed at connecting postgraduate psychology students with potential supervisors and any corresponding opportunities for PhD, RA or postdoctoral research projects they may have in the future. We want to showcase some of the amazing supervisors and research positions out there. We also aim to humanise the PhD/RA/postdoctoral application process a little! Wouldn’t you like to know a few fun facts about a supervisor before applying to work with them? We hope that our readers find this a useful opportunity to learn more and reach out to one another, building more connections and collaborations across the UK.

Executive function and resilience, both key components associated with a healthy interaction with one’s environment, have been researched alongside one another, increasingly throughout time. Psychological flexibility is also a fundamental component in mental health and wellbeing, commonly used in therapeutic techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. To date, little research has focussed on the relationship between executive functioning, resilience levels, and one’s psychological flexibility. Research conducted so far has determined relationships between executive function and psychological flexibility, and both components with resilience. Future research would benefit from researching these variables together in the context of adverse life events to inform interventions that aim to improve resilience and psychological flexibility.
