Exploring the influence of cognitive flexibility and reflective thinking on interpersonal wellbeing

Closes 7 July 2025

Thinking skills, like being able to adapt to new situations (cognitive flexibility) and evaluating our experiences (reflective thinking), likely help people interact better with others, but we don’t fully understand how. This research aims to gain further understanding of this, which may support training programs that improve relationships by strengthening both thinking and emotional skills.

Participation involves completion of an online survey. The survey will initially obtain some brief, general demographic information, followed by questions about thinking processes, empathy, emotion regulation, communication, problem solving and relationship wellbeing.
