Project Details
Life changes mean disruptions to how we normally live our lives. Often these take place within areas of our lives that are not routine or everyday and therefore may require new and specialised ways of dealing with information. During a life transition, our sense of mastery and coherence over our lives may be challenged, resulting in the need for information to help adjust to a new life.
This PhD project will look at how we obtain and use information during a significant life change such as an illness, new job, or change to our relationship status.
