Paid Participants

Joining the Anderson Behavioral Lab Paid Participant Pool is a great way to contribute to academic research and get a chance to earn extra credit, cash, or gift certificates while doing so!

Participants in the Behavioral Research Lab take part in many types of studies. In one study, you may participate in a mock interview. Another study might pair you up with a partner and ask you to complete a puzzle or negotiate a business deal. You might be asked to indicate your opinions or judgements about various things, or how much you would pay for a product. Another may put you in front of an eye tracker and have you read over product descriptions. There’s no limit to the variety of studies conducted in the Behavioral Research Lab!

Who is eligible to sign up for the Paid Participant Pool?

If you are a UNM student age 18 or older, you may join the Anderson Behavioral Lab Paid Participant Pool by logging in using your UNM NetID. Sign up for the Paid Participant Pool here.

From the home page, you will be able to see a list of available studies, view detailed descriptions of studies, and register for studies that interest you. It is up to you to participate in any study. Becoming a member of the participant pool does not in any way obligate you to participate in a study; it just means that you will be emailed when studies for compensation become available.

Compensation

Compensation depends on the type and length of the study. The compensation scheme is provided in the detailed description of the study.

Some studies may require participants to complete a signed verification of receipt of payment.
