Are you a collector? We would like to invite you to take part in a research study examining the spectrum of "acquisition behaviour," as it ranges from typical (collecting) to excessive (hoarding). We are particularly interested in recruiting individuals who self-identify as being a "collector" - that is, a person who has acquired objects of a particular type or theme. The study involves a series of online questionnaires examining everyday difficulties with memory and planning, family stress and a short telephone interview about your own acquisition behaviours. We estimate that the questionnaires will take around 20minutes to complete. The telephone interview can be arranged at a time convenient to you and will take approximately 15-20 minutes. If you participate in the study a financial compensation of £5 will be given as thanks for your time. If you are interested in taking part or would like to find out more, please contact Helena Drury at helena.drury@kcl.ac .uk.
