<p>soooo for psychology, as part of our grade we can either be subjects in researchers' experiments or write 2 two-page papers on different kinds of research. i really want to do the first option (and the professor really encourages it), but i was wondering if they're very time consuming or if there are any other negatives about it.</p>
<p>my professor is musumeci-szabo if that helps. thank you!!:D</p>
<p>Do the first one! </p>
<p>It’s not time consuming at all! Most of them you just go in there for an hour or less and are a one-time thing. One of them I did took only 10 minutes and I got 1 RPU (I think that’s what they were called). And some of them have online portions that you can complete.</p>
<p>It can be fun! Or maybe boring if you consider answering a couple of survey questions, which are what some of them were.</p>
<p>thank you 
i just did an online experiment, it was fun lol</p>
<p>I enjoyed the experiments! Both of mine were in the psychology building and I just had to answer survey questions on the computer. The second one was actually awesome - it was about vaccinating or not vaccinating and they made it into a game where you compete against the other people in the study. We even got paid based on how well we did! haha I think I got like $14 and was only there for 30 minutes.</p>
<p>Can you get paid to do the experiments even if you are not taking Psychology? If yes who would you contact about it?</p>
<p>Oh my gosh, do you want to buy my Gen Psych book, drexeler? I had the same professor and I need to sell my book, haha.</p>
<p>I don’t think you have to be taking psych, but not all of the experiments pay…I’m not sure how you’d find out which ones do because I wasn’t informed about it until I got there haha but this is the website: [Welcome</a> to the Human Subject Pool System](<a href=“http://researchpool.rutgers.edu/]Welcome”>http://researchpool.rutgers.edu/)</p>
<p>koto: i wish i knew earlier or i would’ve bought it in a heartbeat lol. there are probably so many people who want it though, you can advertise on the “accepted: rutgers class of 2014” page if you have facebook. lots of people in that group want to buy books :)</p>
<p>Aw, okay, thanks for the tip!</p>
