Hello! My name is Katarina Krumplevska and I have just finished my Undergraduate Research Assistantship position within the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences. The project I worked on was to validate a questionnaire which explored attitudes and beliefs of pain. This involved data collection, data analyses and starting to write up the results in a paper. As a graduate in psychology I had the experience of being a research assistant last year within the Psychology Department where I was involved in a health psychology project. I really appreciated the challenge of learning about pain and completing statistical analyses which were new. I think this project provided a great opportunity to realize that I can rise to the challenge of a project and work with people I have not worked with before. This has given me confidence which I believe will contribute to my next venture to do the MSc of Clinical and Developmental Neuropsychology at Bournemouth University in September.
