Understanding Core Beliefs: A Questionnaire for Mental Health Insights Among UK Residents Aged 16+

Invitation to Participate in the Core Beliefs about Others Questionnaire (CBOQ) for Mental Health Research

Hello! I am currently a second-year PhD student at King’s College London, and I’m seeking adults aged 16 and older from various locations across the UK to take part in a series of questionnaires. The goal of this study is to create a new tool designed to evaluate negative beliefs about others (e.g., “Other people cannot be trusted” or “Other people take advantage of me”), which will be used in future research on factors influencing common mental health issues.

The questionnaire will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete, and participants will have the opportunity to enter a draw for a £50 Amazon voucher upon completion!

  1. It sounds like an interesting and valuable study! I’m sure that the insights gained from your research will contribute significantly to understanding negative beliefs about others and their impact on mental health. I encourage anyone who’s eligible and interested to participate. Not only will you be helping advance research in this area, but there’s also a chance to win a £50 Amazon voucher! Thank you for sharing this opportunity, and best of luck with your PhD work at King’s College London!

  2. This is an intriguing initiative and a vital area of research. Core beliefs significantly shape our worldview and can profoundly impact our mental health. By understanding negative beliefs about others, we may uncover underlying patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. It’s interesting to consider how these beliefs might vary by demographics, such as age, gender, and cultural backgrounds—factors that could inform tailored therapeutic approaches.

    I also appreciate that you’re incentivizing participation with a voucher; this could encourage more individuals to engage with this important research. It would be fascinating to discuss how these negative core beliefs can also influence interpersonal relationships and community dynamics, potentially informing interventions that promote mental well-being at a societal level.

    Looking forward to seeing how this research unfolds and hope more residents take up the call to participate!

  3. This is a fantastic initiative! Addressing the negative beliefs we hold about others is crucial not only for individual mental health but also for fostering healthier communities. I’ve often wondered how these core beliefs might impact not just personal relationships but also collective societal issues, such as trust in public institutions or social cohesion.

    I applaud your effort in developing a tool that addresses such significant and often underexplored areas of mental health. It would be interesting to consider how the findings from this study could be integrated into therapeutic practices or public health strategies to promote better understanding and empathy among individuals. Additionally, it would be valuable to examine the cultural context of these beliefs as they may vary across different demographic groups within the UK. Best of luck with your research; I’m looking forward to seeing the insights that will emerge from this important work!
