Fw: Survey Circulation Request: Detecting Chimpanzee Emotion

by Pawel Fedurek

Dear BERGers, Please see below. Catie, an MSc student, is asking for your help with data collection for her MSc project. Best wishes, Pawel ________________________________ From: Catherine Johnston <caj00071(a)students.stir.ac.uk> Sent: 06 May 2021 13:10 To: Sarah Kraemer <s.b.kraemer(a)stir.ac.uk>; Pawel Fedurek <pawel.fedurek(a)stir.ac.uk> Cc: Clare Andrews <clare.andrews(a)stir.ac.uk> Subject: Survey Circulation Request: Detecting Chimpanzee Emotion Good Afternoon Sarah and Pawel, I’m hoping you can help me circulate my questionnaire through BERG for data collection for my MSc dissertation project. Please could you forward this to the group? In the study, I’m aiming to find out whether humans can detect the emotional content of chimpanzee emotional displays. I would like to invite anyone over the age of 18 who is interested to take part in an online survey that should take approximately 15 – 20 minutes to complete. I’m looking for both participants that have experience working with non-human primates (for example, in a caretaking or research capacity) and participants without experience working with primates. I hope you can spare the time to help. I’d also really appreciate it if anyone could send this questionnaire on to anyone else outside of BERG who has experience working with primates and might be interested in taking part. The ethical approaches of this project have been approved through the University of Stirling General University Ethics Panel.
