Emily Collins
I’m a second year PhD student at Goldsmiths, University of London and my research is looking at online computer game addiction and how it interacts with personality, cognitive ability and physiological responses.
I was keen to get involved in the PsyPAG Quarterly as I feel having the opportunity to communicate your research to a wider audience is an important part of postgraduate education. Gaining experience of writing for publication is likely to be incredibly helpful for future academic careers and so I wanted to be part of something that encouraged this.
Claire Miller
I’m in the second year of my PhD, at Bangor University in North Wales. My research area is cognitive psychology, specifically visual short-term memory capacity and attention.
The Quarterly publication is important, as it gives postgraduates the opportunity to share their research and experiences with other postgraduate psychologists across the whole of the UK. It is also a great medium for gaining experience in writing for publication, which is an important skill at postgraduate level. Feel free to contact us for information or advice on any aspect of submitting an article to the Quarterly.
Daniel Zahra
In the final year of my PhD, my current work is on emotional experiences and their impact on reasoning processes, though I’m also interested in the philosophy of emotions and improving the use of statistics in psychology. Recently I’ve been trying to move away from the more theoretical aspects of these, working in collaboration with DClin trainees on service evaluations in the NHS, and investigating addiction in online communities with colleagues from computing (See also www.daniel-zahra.webs.com).
The PsyPAG quarterly has provided a great opportunity for me over the last years to share ideas with and get useful feedback from the postgraduate community, and I hope that as a recently appointed editor I will be able to contribute to the publication’s continued success, growth, and usefulness whilst gaining experience in an editorial role.
Blaire Morgan
I’m in the second year of my PhD at the University of Birmingham, and I am also affiliated with the Individual Differences group at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, Holland.
My research is in Psycholinguistics, and I am looking at the coordination of speech production and speech comprehension during conversation. The Quarterly is a fantastic publication that allows its readers to learn about ongoing research in a wide range of areas. As an editor I hope to help PsyPAG continue in its success in supporting Postgraduate research, and look forward to gaining some valuable experience in an editorial role.
