I wouldn't take it because I hate spiders (and don't believe the "you never see them" rubbish - pah!). I'd def take it if it was New Zealand though. YOu have loads of things in your favour. You don't have to negotiate with a partner (do you?) you don't have kids or property - this is the time!

Just think about the long term though - if you want to move back to the uk in 5 or 10 years, then consider whether this will be possible and what you'll have to do - I have a few family members that moved out to NZ and OZ 20 years ago and can't get back now because they can't afford house prices in the UK now.

isn't there a simple version of latex where you don't have to learn the coding??


ok found it - I think its free.

I've not done it yet, but I think it would look a bit brattish. I'd save it for when people ask. I would be tempted to put down examiners if they are high profile though

yeah, so if you want to predict whether liking justin bieber predicts idiocy, but you want to see this relationship, after you have controlled for the effect of age on idiocy.

if it helps, I'm now working in the job I described in my post below (up)

sorry - Ive only just caught up with this. I think the acknowledgements were fine. I now need to get on with writing up for publication. YAWN

I'd contact them directly and say you are thinking of using it. They may well send you a load of bumpf that you'd have to pay for otherwise. Have you thought about the MLQ?

ok, well after a panicky discussion with the nice printer lady and the admin persn who deals with PhDs, I begrudgingly went with 2012 and PhD on spine. I may spend the first 10 mins of my viva gushing apologies about this assumption lol and confuse my examiners who probably wouldn't have noticed! ANyway, its in :-)

I'm trained in using the WAVE. I'd contact saville directly. I would caution that they will probably want to own the rights (or something similar) of your data though. Otherwise you'll have to pay a lot of money for using the test. I don't think they let people have the raw data either (if you're just paying for the use of the test, rather than if you want to work WITH saville) so that may be tricky.

Depends what you want to use if for. I'd personally go for something a bit more 'academic'

Ok - so the version you submit before the viva, I'm going to get it soft bound.

Do I put gold lettering on the spine.

a) i'm not sure which year to put, as submission is in 2011, viva in 2012
b) looks a bit pretentious? as they may say its NOT a PhD and therefore gold lettering will look stupid and embarrassing.

Shall I just go for plain?

anyone around today? I need someone to read my acknowledgements for grammar errors. I'd usually get my mum to do it but want to thank her in it!

you do it using hierarchical regression. In SPSS, you do it by going through the normal regression process, but you use different 'blocks'. In block 1 you would include things you wanted to control for (e.g. gender). and in block 2 anything you wanted to test after the effects of gender. You can access the different 'blocks' by just clicking a button in the regression menu.
