Hi all, As suggested I am introducing myself now that I have joined the email list. Having finished my MSc at UCL last year, I am currently a research assistant at the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, looking at emotional, behavioural and cognitive responses to health risk information in primary care. I am beginning my PhD in October at the same place. I will be looking at psychological responses to both graphic images of health threats (akin to those used in health promotion campaigns) and to medical scanning images of potential bodily harm (e.g. ultrasound images of patients' bodily organs). I am planning to use both health psychology models (SRM, PMT) and cognitive processing approaches to understand these issues. Looking forward to being part of the discussion group. Thanks, Gareth
