Welcome to the Research Gateway for studies conducted by Elizabeth Page-Gould and her colleagues. Typically, this will be your portal for learning about new studies that are being offered and completing online portions of an experiment.
We are running a two hour psychophysiology study on communication and physiology - and we're looking for participants! You will earn at least $30! Our study runs in the afternoon in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA, US.
Our study is seeking men and women to complete a variety of communication tasks. Throughout the study, you will tell us your thoughts and opinions while wearing various non-invasive sensors (to measure things like blood pressure and heart rate) throughout the study.
You must not have pacemaker, doctor-diagnosed heart murmur or hypertension, or be on medication that affects heart rate or blood pressure. You must also have transportation to Cambridge. You must be willing to follow the following guidelines on the day of the study:
Currently, Dr. Page-Gould's research studies are being conducted at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, US. Beginning on July 1st of 2009, her studies will be conducted at the University of Toronto at Scarborough in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. If the advertised study is marked Lab Study, then you must live in the same area as and have transportation to the study's location in order to participate. If the advertised study indicates that it is a Web Study, then you may participate no matter where you live.
Any study that you see advertised on this page has undergone extensive Internal Review Board at Dr. Page-Gould's current institution. Her current institution is Harvard University. The Internal Review Board considers all aspects of the study protocol prior to approval in order to ensure that your laboratory experience is comfortable and safe. As a Research Participant, it is your right to withdraw your consent and end participation in the research at any time.
Dr. Elizabeth Page-Gould is a social psychophysiologist. Therefore, her research is broadly classified in the field of psychology, with specific emphasis on interpersonal relationships, social cognition, and physiological responses. Many laboratory sessions involve either the placement of several non-invasive sensors on the body and/or collection of saliva samples, and these studies are specifically flagged as Physiological. If a study does not have the Physiological tag, then no biological data will be collected. Most laboratory sessions also involve surveys, behavioral tasks, and timed computer tasks.
