Participants Needed - Swinburne University: Rhythms and Rewards Study
The Rhythms and Rewards study aims to examine day/night rhythms in how people pursue goals and rewards. For example, some people tend to be excited and motivated to go after goals in the evening, others tend to be more motivated in the morning. We are interested in how these daily rhythms may differ for people who do and do not have bipolar disorder.
We're recruiting people aged 18-45 years and based in Victoria; who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and are currently receiving treatment.
