Help researchers in the Psychology Department by participating in a study in which you will answer questions about your personality, participate in a brief writing activity, and receive feedback. The entire study is online and will take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
If you would like to join the study, please sign up through SONA. The study is titled "Choosing Chico - Tell Us Why!".
There are no foreseeable risks associated with answering survey questions, though you may experience some negative feelings while answering questions and receiving verbal feedback. We expect these feelings to be minimal.
As compensation, you will receive 45 minutes of SONA credit, as well as the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a gift card for $40. We will be raffling off 12 gift cards at the conclusion of the study.
You must be at least 18 years old to participate, be enrolled in PSYC coursework, and must not be hard of hearing or have experienced hearing loss that would make listening to audio difficult. This study has been approved by the Chico State Institutional Review Board.
Please email gebronson@csuchico.edu if you have any questions about the research.
