Department of Psychology

Participant recruitment

• Researchers must use the provided recruitment forms
  
• Forms will be posted only on the provided recruitment boards in the main hall of the psychology department.
  
• No undue inducement or enticements for participants are allowed on the recruitment forms. For example, phrases like "Only 10 minutes" or "Easy Experiment!" are not allowed. This is to ensure voluntary participation.
  
• Include all the information that is asked for on the cover sheet and the sign up sheets
  
• If you are not going to use one of the sign up slots on the sign up sheet, cross it out rather than leave it blank
  
• The contact information you provide must be accurate. If you prefer not to give out your personal phone number or e-mail address, you must make an effort to actively follow up on any messages or e-mails sent to whatever addresses you provide.
  
• Sign up sheets and cover sheets must stay on the recruitment board until after the experiment has been run. If you need to have access to them during your experiment, make a copy for yourself and leave the originals on the board.
  
• You may expect to have full access to the participant pool until the 14th week of the semester. After that, psychology classes participate in the pool at the discretion of the instructor.
