UNDERGRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES


Paid Study Participation

We are inviting you to participate in two studies, the Interpersonal Interaction Study and Dyadic Interaction Study!

These studies involve a very brief screening survey to determine whether you are eligible, and then a 1-hour session where you will come into the lab and answer questions about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and potentially complete a reading and writing task. Additionally, we will ask you to have a conversation with other participants.

While there is no compensation for filling out the brief screening survey, eligible participants can earn $10 for each study!

To sign up for each study, you can take a brief screening survey by following the links below:

1. Interpersonal Interaction Study: https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bmwSoIcSrEmGKZE

2. Dyadic Interaction Study: https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7Uw27JzbOKjSaPQ

These studies have been reviewed by the University of Pittsburgh’s IRB.

If you have any questions, please contact the lab manager, Nalanda Ray, at IIRLAB@pitt.edu.
