“…All participants included in the analysis were willing to report information regarding their Ecstasy use and only two preferred not to report information about cannabis consumption. This supports previous ®ndings (Buchanan, 2000b;McKenna and Bargh, 2000) and also indicates the suitability of the web as a medium for self-report drug research.…”

“…There is evidence to suggest (e.g. Buchanan, 2000b) that participants in online studies may be more candid and willing to disclose sensitive information (a possible reason for this being their real or perceived anonymity). This idea is consistent with evidence that`under the protective cloak of anonymity on the Internet, individuals can admit to having marginalized or non-mainstream proclivities that they must hide from the rest of the world' (McKenna and Bargh, 2000, p. 64).…”

Given the legal status of MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), or Ecstasy, face-to-face access to participants is sometimes difficult. The number of participants in studies of cognitive performance amongst Ecstasy users is variable, with the average being around 30. Access to a larger number of participants is clearly desirable. The present investigation accessed a larger sample size using a web-based design. A website was developed and used for data collection. Prospective memory ability was assessed using the Prospective Memory Questionnaire. Self-report of day-to-day memory performance was investigated using the Everyday Memory Questionnaire. The Drug Questionnaire assessed the use of other substances as well as Ecstasy, allowing a regression design to isolate the contribution of each substance to any variance on the cognitive measures. Preliminary findings (N = 488) indicate that there is a clear double dissociation between the impact of Ecstasy and cannabis. We found that cannabis was associated with reports of 'here-and-now' cognitive problems in short-term and internally cued prospective memory. In contrast, Ecstasy was associated with reports of long-term memory problems, which were more related to storage and retrieval difficulties. Copyright 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…1 Interestingly (but perhaps not surprisingly), these studies provide evidence that Internet samples accessed using these methods tend to differ in systematic ways from the undergraduate student samples often encountered in psychological research (for evidence that traditional psychological research relies heavily on undergraduate student samples, see Buchanan & Smith, 1999;Smart, 1966). Thus, Internet samples tend to be more diverse in nationality (or geographical location as an approximate indicator of nationality; Birnbaum, 1999;Buchanan & Smith, 1999;Krantz et al, 1997;Senior et al, 1999), of higher educational level (Birnbaum, 1999(Birnbaum, , 2000, more balanced in terms of gender (Bailey, Foote, & Throckmorton, 2000;Buchanan, 2000;Buchanan & Smith, 1999;Riva et al, 2003;Smith & Leigh, 1997), and broader in age range (Buchanan, 2000;Buchanan & Smith, 1999;Eichstaedt, 2002;Krantz et al, 1997;Riva et al, 2003;Senior et al, 1999;Smith & Leigh, 1997). …”

“…One of the key appeals of IMR is the ability to reach a large number of potential participants cost and time effectively, using procedures such as posting participation requests to newsgroups, to mailing lists, and on Web pages (Barbeite & Weiss, 2004;Musch & Reips, 2000). In psychological IMR at least, these approaches (we include those that involve sending requests to e-mail addresses obtained from Internet databases, such as mailing lists) have prevailed (e.g., Birnbaum, 2001;Browndyke, Santa Maria, Pinkston, & Gouvier, 1998;Buchanan, 2000;Buchanan & Smith, 1999;Coomber, 1997;Corley & Scheepers, 2002;Eichstaedt, 2002;Im & Chee, 2004;Kaye & Johnson, 1999;Krantz et al, 1997;Laugwitz, 2001;Riva et al, 2003;Smith & Leigh, 1997;Szabo, Frenkl, & Caputo, 1996). 1 Interestingly (but perhaps not surprisingly), these studies provide evidence that Internet samples accessed using these methods tend to differ in systematic ways from the undergraduate student samples often encountered in psychological research (for evidence that traditional psychological research relies heavily on undergraduate student samples, see Buchanan & Smith, 1999;Smart, 1966).…”

“…Accessing a non-clinical population through the internet enables access to a large sample. Freeman et al (2005) also suggest that the internet provides a safe forum for participants to disclose paranoid thoughts, which is supported by evidence that on-line participants are more willing to disclose self-relevant information (Buchanan 2000). Internet-based studies have limitations, such as selection bias, technological factors outside the researcherÕs control and issues of generalisability (Witmer et al1999).…”

Relationships between paranoid thinking, self-esteem and the menstrual cycle

This study aimed to investigate whether paranoid experiences and levels of self-esteem fluctuate over the menstrual cycle and whether levels of self-esteem are lower when perceived persecution is felt to be deserved.Measures of anxiety, depression, persecution, deservedness and self-esteem were completed on-line by 278 women over their menstrual cycle. Responses were compared at the paramenstrual (three days before and after menses onset) and mid-cycle phase.At the paramenstrual phase persecution, negative self-esteem, anxiety and depression were higher and positive self-esteem was lower than at mid-cycle. A greater proportion of women experienced persecution as deserved at the paramenstrual phase. This was associated with higher depression and negative self-esteem scores.Increased levels of deservedness significantly strengthened the relationship between persecution and negative, but not positive, self-esteem.These findings suggest that the paramenstrual phase is a time of vulnerability to increased paranoid experiences, an increased likelihood that feelings of persecution will feel deserved and lowered self-esteem. The findings support the view that interpersonal sensitivities may be key to menstrual cycle symptoms and have an impact on relationships. Further, the study illustrated that ideas developed for psychosis could make a valuable contribution to understanding and managing this aspect of menstruation-related distress. KeywordsParanoia; Self-esteem; Menstruation; Premenstrual; Deservedness PARANOIA, SELF-ESTEEM AND THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE 3 Relationships between Paranoia, Self-Esteem and the Menstrual CycleThe menstrual cycle is characterised by hormonal fluctuations which accompany the processes of ovulation and menses in female human reproduction. The phases of the cycle have been linked to changes in both physical and psychological phenomena, the presentation and intensity of which varies considerably from woman to woman (Gonda et al. 2008). Typically, negative effects occur in the few days preceding and during menstruation. Increased interpersonal oversensitivity is commonly reported within the PMS literature (Pinkerton et al. 2010). Such sensitivities are likely to have major impacts upon relationships, and other commonly reported symptoms such as anxiety and depression. However, these sensitivities are rarely specifically investigated.! Paranoia and low self-esteem both reflect oversensitivity to interactions with others.Links between menstrual cycle phase and psychosis have long been postulated (see Brockington 2005 for a review). The literature also includes examples of exacerbation of bipolar disorder (Hendrick et al. 1996), exacerbation of schizophrenic symptoms (Harris 1997;Levitte 1997;Riecher-Rossler 2002;Hsiao et al. 2004;Bergemann et al. 2007) and the presentation of psychotic symptoms in major depression during the premenstrual and menstrual phases. Due to the physiological changes underpinning the menstrual cycle, research has focused upon physiological reasons for these phenomena, s...
