I am looking for therapists and researchers interested in studying how people understand and use selected tools, and what evidence would be needed to assess their validity for a particular purpose.
A question we could start with
Am I Kind—or Am I People-Pleasing? asks readers to consider one relationship through six prompts. Do they understand the descriptions as intended, and can they explain how the wording relates to the relationship they have chosen to consider?
That could be a starting point for investigating comprehension. Questions about validity or effectiveness would need their own study design and evidence.
What we could each contribute
I can explain the tool’s structure, wording and design choices, and develop revisions. You might bring experience with a relevant group, research methods or the topic itself.
We would agree the question, methods, responsibilities and any participant involvement together. This is an invitation to develop a study.
Discuss a research collaboration →An initial question is enough. Tell me which tool interests you and how it connects to your work.
