Alternatives to Research Study Participation
Options for students who:- are not interested in participating in any research studies
- or cannot spend time after school for participating
- If you are not feeling comfortable after completing the study, you can request the data from your participation not be used in analysis. You will still receive your credits from your participation.
- If you don’t want to participate in a research study as a subject, but are interested in learning about the research, you may contact the researcher or the research assistant to walk you through the experiment. He/she will introduce the procedure and some information about the research study he/she is running to you. You will still receive your credits from walking through the experiment.
- Written article summary report: Please download the form for the report and the list of acceptable journals(choose an article from the list) or get copies from the Psychology Research Pool sites (Surrey: 214 Fir Building/Richmond: 2400). Instructions are attached with the form, so please complete it accordingly and hand it to Richmond/ Surrey Psych Lab by the deadline given by course instructors. Each report will be equal to 1/2 hr research participation.
- Additional alternatives may be offered from the professors allowing bonus credits through the psych lab/research pool sites. Please speak to your professor for the class in which you are seeking alternate bonus mark options.
