The UTM Psychology Research Sign-up System has been designed to allow researchers to add experiments and have participants sign up through an online secure program. This application can have both Psychology students and paid participants sign up. UTORid and password are required for Psychology participants only. Paid participants sign up by submitting their contact information and creating an account on the system.
Psychology Participants
All students enrolled in the Psychology courses participating in "Experiments for Course Credit' are allowed to participate in experiments or complete substitute assignments to earn credit towards their final grade.
When enrolling in the sign-up system for a particular PSY course, please make sure to enroll in the course on the sign-up system and allocate the earned credits toward the course. Otherwise, the credit might not be counted toward your final grade.
Each hour-long experiment would be worth 0.67% and a 30-minute experiment would be worth 0.33% of their final grade. Some experiments may be longer than an hour (e.g. 1.5, 2 or 3 hours).
Psychology students who elect to satisfy the research participation requirement by serving as volunteer subjects in ongoing research are required to create a participant account and sign up for experiments through the UTM Psychology Research Sign-up System.
The last day for students to participate in an experiment is the last day of the term (click here for updated dates).
In order to use the Psychology subject pool, 1) you must be affiliated with the UTM Psychology Research lab, and 2) your UTM Psychology lab must provide a substitute assignment. If you do not provide a substitute assignment you will be denied access to the UTM Psychology Research Sign-up System. Click here for instructions on submitting a substitute assignment.
Paid Participants
Individuals wishing to participate in studies to receive financial compensation can create a participant account and sign up on on-going paid experiments through the UTM Psychology Research Sign-up System (https://utmpsychology.sona-systems.com). Participants will be asked to provide their name and contact information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Psychology students participating for academic credit should NOT receive financial compensation unless specified otherwise.
