'Good Life' Research

'Good Life' Research

Karen Mutsatsa , a disabled post graduate researcher in psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, is carrying out research asking
what living a ‘Good Life’ means. As Karen explains on her own words,

“I study happiness in people with disabilities. This is because I am both disabled and a researcher, which has helped me to recognise that there is a lack of information regarding the positive psychology of disabled people. This gap in knowledge means that researchers do not fully understand the strengths and characteristics of disabled people, because they have been historically neglected as research participants in psychology. In short, psychology has a vague understanding of the inner world of disabled people, much less, the things needed to help disabled people live a happy life.

That is why I am conducting this study, to understand and to define what a ‘Good Life’ is with a physical/sensory impairment, as told by people with physical/sensory impairments, and to identify the barriers or enablers to achieving a ‘Good Life’ with a physical/sensory impairment. The study will be 60 to 90 minutes, held on Microsoft Teams, audio recorded, involving 20 questions, and a £15 amazon gift voucher to show appreciation for participating in the study.”

If you or anyone you know is interested in participating, has a physical/sensory impairment, 18+ of age, living in the UK, and understands written/spoken English without an intellectual impairment, please contact Karen at gkm108@pgr.aru.ac.uk for more information.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
