AdvancedVolunteers needed for research project!!!
Hi Guys
Some of you guys may know (some not!) that I am doing a psychology degree with the open uni. My next assignment involves doing a small amount of research and I am looking for any willing victims to participate!
The research involves a simple task of reading 2 lists of simple words and timing the amount of time taken to do it. This should take a few minutes only. Another couple of minutes would be taken with me explaining what you needed to do and getting you to sign a consent form and another couple of minutes giving you a debrief at the end. (So a max of 10 minutes per participant). I need to do this next week sometime, so if you are willing to be a participant let me know!
Technically you need to be over 18, but if any under 18 year old is very keen to participate (unlikely!) I have no problem with this, but the parent needs to sign the consent form as well as the child and a parent needs to be present while I do the research. (I have a clear CRB check), but I would need to see how the age skewed my results before putting the info into my results. (I know I do creche and you guys trust me with your kids, but the British Psychological Society has very stringent rules re. dealing with kids - quite rightly!)
Send me a message if you are interested. I was thinking about doing it after church - if I can get permission from the staff to use the creche room!
Thanks
Jackie
Thanks to all you guys who took part in my little experiment yesterday. Will update you with the results when I have finished writing it up and analysing the figures.
