Look­ing for Participants

I am researcher at Dal­housie in Psychology/Neuroscience. I am cur­rently run­ning exper­i­ments from my the­sis, and Iʼm look­ing for peo­ple who are inter­ested in participating!

The exper­i­ment presents lights, tones & tac­tile stim­u­la­tions and requires par­tic­i­pants to make judg­ments about their tim­ing and/or location.

Par­tic­i­pa­tion entails com­ing into the lab for 2 days for  ~1 hour/day.

*Par­tic­i­pants who finish the exper­i­ment will be finan­cially com­pen­sated $25 total for their time. I will be test­ing par­tic­i­pants between Feb 15 and March 4.

We are con­duct­ing a research study inves­ti­gat­ing pat­terns and moti­va­tions of poker players.

If you:
• Are 19–34 years old
• Have played OFFLINE POKER (e.g. casino, with friends) at least 2 times a month for the last 3 months
• Have played offline poker at least 10 times in your life
• Have played for offline money

• Have NOT played online more than 10 times or in the past 3 months.

You may be eli­gi­ble to par­tic­i­pate in a research study inves­ti­gat­ing pat­terns and moti­va­tions of poker players.

If you choose to par­tic­i­pate in this study, you will be eli­gi­ble for com­pen­sa­tion. Each par­tic­i­pant will be required to attend 1 ses­sion at Dal­housie University.

If you are inter­ested and want more infor­ma­tion please con­tact us via e-mail at gamble@dal.ca or call 494‑4596. Replies to this ad and par­tic­i­pa­tion in the study will be strictly confidential.

Your par­tic­i­pa­tion in the study is com­pletely vol­un­tary and is not con­sid­ered a form of employ­ment. Dal­housie Uni­ver­sity will not be issu­ing a T4A for any hon­o­rar­ium you receive.

Does famil­iar­ity influ­ence pro­cess­ing of emo­tional expressions?

This is a 2-part study, open to any­one 16 years of age or older. The main objec­tive of the project is to inves­ti­gate how we process our own emo­tional expres­sions (self) vs. those of peo­ple we do not know (other). In Part 1, your facial expres­sion will be recorded while look­ing at images pre­sented on a com­puter screen. In Part 2, you will be tested on recog­ni­tion of your own facial responses to the images and the facial responses of another, unknown, per­son to the same images. Record­ing of your facial expres­sion in Part 1 is manda­tory for par­tic­i­pa­tion. If there are any prob­lems in the record­ings, such as tech­ni­cal prob­lems, then you may not be asked to return for Part 2. Both ses­sions will take no more than an hour to com­plete and you will receive $10 per ses­sion completed.

Please email Alanna Gravely (agravely@dal.ca) for more infor­ma­tion about the study and to sched­ule your ses­sion for Part 1.
