Research Opportunity for Child Participants Aged 4 months to 8 years!

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

At the Early Social Devel­op­ment Lab at Dal­housie Uni­ver­sity, we study how kids inter­act with the world around them. You can learn more about our work at http://esdl.psychology.dal.ca.

We are cur­rently look­ing for kids between the ages of 4 months and 8 years to par­tic­i­pate in a study about their social development.

With the infants (aged 4–9 months) we are inter­ested in when young chil­dren begin to rec­og­nize them­selves. With the older kids (aged 4–8 years) we are inter­ested in how kids under­stand the con­cepts of shar­ing and fairness.

We would like to ask for your assis­tance with our research! If you have a child between these ages and are will­ing to vol­un­teer 20–45 min­utes of your time, we would appre­ci­ate hear­ing from you!

Dur­ing a study visit, your child will be asked to per­form a sim­ple task or play an inter­ac­tive game. All our stud­ies are com­pletely safe and fun! You will be present in the room through­out the study.

Chil­dren will receive a cer­tifi­cate as a thank-you for com­ing in to play. Older chil­dren will receive a sticker book and stick­ers, too.

Poll update

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

I for­got to men­tion that I’ll keep the poll up for a week, clos­ing it mid­night May 7th.

Please read! Poll to count psyc.me subscribers and to evaluate medium

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

Hi folks,

Mike Lawrence here, I’m a grad stu­dent in the depart­ment and I’m the one that created/maintains this site. I’d like to get a sense of the num­ber of peo­ple that visit this site, whether directly or by RSS feed. The for­mer is easy (we get about 100 direct web vis­its per month), but count­ing RSS sub­scribers is more tricky. To do a proper count, I think the best approach is to ask every­one who sees this ad to com­plete the ques­tion­naire below. The num­ber of responses should help eval­u­ate the num­ber of sub­scribers. Also, the con­tent of the poll will help me eval­u­ate the degree to which this elec­tronic medium com­pares to the tra­di­tional “posters on the wall” approach. (Extra points for fig­ur­ing out why this might not be con­sid­ered a gen­er­al­iz­able poll).

What medium(s) would you pre­fer with regards to ads for study par­tic­i­pa­tion and lab assis­tant opportunities?

  • All ads should be both posted online and posted as phys­i­cal posters in the depart­ment (78%, 7 Votes)
  • All ads should be posted online only (22%, 2 Votes)
  • Some ads should be posted online and some should be posted as phys­i­cal posters in the depart­ment (0%, 0 Votes)
  • All ads should be posted as phys­i­cal posters in the depart­ment only (0%, 0 Votes)
  • I have an opin­ion that does not fit with the above choices (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Vot­ers: 9
