Student Research Participation Opportunities - Department of Psychological Science

Every day, we take risks. We are interested in what influences our decision-making to better understand
how we approach risks. You are invited to participate in a study, being conducted under the direction of
Dr. Lin Fang at NMU, investigating the relationship between personality
characteristics, decision making, and information processing. The investigation includes five
questionnaires and two behavioral tasks, all completed on a computer. Participation is expected to last
up to one hour. The risks associated with this study are expected to be minimal and participants can get extra credit after participating in the study.

• How fast are you? The purpose of this research is to find out how quickly people can
  process visual information. The study will include a 30-minute in-person lab
  appointment.

You are invited to take part in a research study examining the relationship between social media content, stress, and emotion. This study is being conducted by Tyree O'Neil, a graduate student in the Health and Human Performance Program, and Dr. Vince Jeevar.

• Participants will be asked to complete a self-report survey on stress and emotion on a scale of 0-5.
• Participants will then take part in an experiment on a social media platform for 14 days and will be expected to post at least once every two days for the duration of the study.
• Participants will have the ability to interact with each other and will be asked to contribute content of their choosing*, just as they would on other social media sites.
• The estimated time to complete the first set of survey questions is approximately 5-10 minutes.
• Participation on the social media platform will take 14 days, with intermittent activity required.
• The final survey questions will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
• Participants may answer or decline to answer any questions without pressure or coercion.

*Sharing content with violence, sexual activity, drugs use or other graphic content will result in removal from the study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate behavioral performance, persistence, and avoidance in computer simulations. You will complete game-like computer tasks in a laboratory while earning and losing points. We are interested in evaluating the role of multiple session experiences, such as your ability to defend your earned rewards, which style of gaming response options and other activities are available, how points are gained or lost, and how responsive the game environment is while playing.

Participants will complete game-like computer tasks in a laboratory. All participants will receive extra credit in participating courses. Participants may have the opportunity to return for additional sessions.

You are invited to take part in our research study! This study intends to measure if people act differently in the future after considering 1) the way they see themselves, 2) the way others see them, and 3) what is culturally normal or average regarding masculinity. This study will include 2 parts for the participant: a pre-survey and a lab-meeting with a post-survey. This study also requires a close friend who will act as an informant by answering questions regarding their perception of the participant. 

The estimated time to complete the first set of survey​ questions is roughly 30-40 minutes. The appointment​ at the lab will only take 15-20 minutes, but​ it cannot happen until both you and your informant have completed the survey questions.
