Participate in a Research Study
Research participation provides an important first-hand view of psychological science. If you are interested in participating, current projects are listed below. PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN EACH PROJECT JUST ONCE. It is most effective if you complete online studies on a laptop or desktop, not a mobile phone.
We invite you to participate in a study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Dartmouth University online bystander intervention training for undergraduates. Volunteers (who must be a college undergraduate and 18 years or older) will answer questions about their university experiences, play an online intervention training game, and then report their reactions to the game (the full in person study will take place in Stevenson Hall 3011, and will not last more than one hour). Please note that these training materials will focus on sexual and interpersonal situations that some people might find uncomfortable. All data that we collect will be anonymous. For research participant pool class credit, you will be able to enter your name and instructor’s name in a separate independent questionnaire.
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.
Prescreening Survey - Marriage Study
The purpose of this study is to learn what you think about a recent story in which university employees accused the spouse of a college president of sexual misconduct. After you read a newspaper article summary of the events, we will ask you your opinions and recommendations for what should happen next. If you choose to participate, you must be 18 years of age or older, and we expect the questionnaire to take approximately 15 minutes. Any data that we collect will be anonymous. For research participant pool class credit, you will be able to enter your name and instructor's name in a separate independent questionnaire.
We are interested in young people's impressions of physicians' webpages. In this study, we will ask you to evaluate two web pages that describe a general practice physician. The study takes about 15 minutes to complete. Any data that we collect will be anonymous. For research participant pool class credit, you will be able to enter your name and instructor's name in a separate independent questionnaire.
Thank you for volunteering your time to further our research. All projects have been approved by the Sonoma State University Institutional Review Board.
