Participate in a Research Study

Be interviewed about your experiences with shame in educational settings! SSU undergraduates only. Shame is a universal human emotion. We shame when something in us feels flawed, not good, or not enough. We are interested in how shame shows up in educational settings: grade school, middle school, high school and college. How is shame triggered, what does it feel like and how do people respond?

This research is a qualitative study, where you participate in a recorded Zoom interview with Professor Matthew Callahan. At the outset of the Zoom interview, you will first complete a short demographic survey. During the interview, you will be asked to describe how you experience the emotion of shame and to recall and share instances where you experienced shame in educational settings.

Any identifiable information will be redacted as we transcribe the interview. Students in the participant pool will receive 1 hour of course credit to apply to PSY 250 or 325. Other courses/instructors (with prior approval) may offer extra credit for research participation. All data that we collect will be anonymous. For course credit, Professor Callahan will record your name and instructor's name in a separate document which will not be connected to your interview responses.

The Sonoma Marriage Lab is conducting a study to learn about how marriages and family relationships change over time. Each spouse will be interviewed via telephone for 1 hour and paid as a couple ($75 gift card). About 2 months later, couples will be paid ($100) to complete a similar 1-hr survey again. If your spouse is available to participate and if you would like to be considered for the study, take a 1-minute screening survey to see if you qualify. Note that both spouses need to be 18+ years old. For research participant pool class credit, you will be able to enter your name and instructor's name in a separate independent questionnaire.
