Information

• For participants

  Would you like to become a participant for our studies? We are always looking for new participants for our pool! Joining does not involve any costs or obligation. You will simply be informed of future studies by e-mail for which you may choose to participate or not.

  What do I need to do?

  By registering you offer your time and services to our researchers by providing your opinions, feelings, preferences, and thoughts to questions and situations they pose to you through either online surveys or on-campus experiments. In return you will be compensated for your participation.

  Before each study you will be provided with a detailed description of what you will be asked to do. Here are a few examples of the types of questions you might be asked during a study:

  — I would buy a product just because it has status? (True/False)

  — I often compare myself with others with respect to what I have accomplished in life? (Scale from 1-5, 1 being "Completely Agree")

  — How often do you buy product xyz?
