Choosing Lotteries Copy
By Rani Moran10 placesUniversity College London researchers invite you to take part in an online psychology experiment on how humans make decisions that allow them to earn rewards, which will be accessed through your web browser. We are looking for medically and mentally healthy participants over the age of 18 years. You will be asked to make responses to a series of stimuli. You will also be asked to complete several questionnaires. Participation involves making multiple responses spread over 1 sessions of 90 minutes. You will be reimbursed £9 for your time, and an additional reimbursement of up to £2 depending on your performance .£9.00 • £9.08/hr72 minsSadly I just cannot take on these longer studies in the week day at present, as I cannot guarantee that I will not be interrupted by something more important and so may have to return it.It is a pity that you couldn't arrange for these type of studies to be available on the weekend or in the evening1 -

I had this offered to me when there were 5 spaces left. I accepted it but when I clicked through the platform said it was full. Annoying as it was a big payment.yupiteru said:Choosing Lotteries Copy

I noticed that the Prolific messaging wasn't working quite so well yesterday. I had a similar study, where I took one part at lunchtime then had to take another part in the evening. It ended up being delayed by about 90 minutes, and all the messages from the researcher apologising for the delay came through in a big glut shortly after I'd completed Part 2.elsien said:I wonder why mine didn’t come through then.
