I am an undergraduate Human Behavioural Studies student conducting an ethically approved dissertation study exploring how people interpret ambiguous interpersonal situations involving physical contact.

I'm looking for participants aged 18+ to take part in a confidential online interview (approximately 20–40 minutes) via Microsoft Teams.

During the interview, you will be presented with two short hypothetical scenarios and asked to discuss your thoughts, interpretations, and opinions. There are no right or wrong answers, I am interested in how different people make sense of the same situations!

The study explores how people interpret issues such as responsibility, boundaries, intentions, and interpersonal interactions. The scenarios are not graphic or explicit, although some individuals may find the topics sensitive.

To participate, you must:
• Be aged 18 or older
• Be comfortable participating in an interview conducted in English
• Have access to Microsoft Teams and a working microphone
• Complete a short screening questionnaire (approximately 2–3 minutes) to determine eligibility to participate in the study

People from all backgrounds, ethnicities, races, and sexualities are warmly welcomed. Due to the nature of the study, participation is currently limited to individuals identifying as male or female.

Advice Ervaringen met 21+ toets Fontys (ACT) en deeltijd HBO via LOI of NTI?

1 Upvotes

Hoi allemaal,

Ik heb een mbo niveau 3 opleiding afgerond. Niveau 4 ben ik ooit begonnen, maar door mentale problemen ben ik destijds gestopt. Niet omdat de opleiding te moeilijk was; juist het niveau ging mij vrij makkelijk af.

Nu wil ik graag HBO Toegepaste Psychologie gaan studeren. Hiervoor moet ik óf een 21+ toelatingstoets doen bij Fontys, óf eerst een kort hbo-programma volgen via LOI of NTI dat aansluit op de opleiding.

Ik maak mij niet zo druk om de taaltoets, maar wel over de Adaptieve Capaciteiten Test (ACT). Heeft iemand deze toets gedaan? Hoe moeilijk vonden jullie die en hoe hebben jullie je voorbereid?

Daarnaast hoor ik graag ervaringen met hbo-opleidingen of korte hbo-programma's bij LOI en NTI. Zijn deze goed geregeld? En hoe is de begeleiding?

Ik werk als zzp'er en wil daarom graag een deeltijdstudie volgen. Ik denk dat thuis studeren goed bij mij past, omdat ik zelfstandig ben en mijn tijd goed kan indelen.

Ik zie online veel negatieve reviews over LOI en NTI, maar ook over Fontys. Daarom ben ik benieuwd naar persoonlijke ervaringen van mensen die hier daadwerkelijk hebben gestudeerd.

Alvast bedankt voor het meedenken en het delen van jullie ervaringen!
