Participate in Research
Participant Panel
The
APRU is often in need of volunteers to assist with our ongoing
research. We greatly appreciate your time and help, without which our
research would simply not be possible. If you sign up using the form
below, we will contact you with details of studies in which you might
be interested as they arise.
Some of our research can be conducted at a distance or in mutually
convenient locations, but we do often conduct studies which require
willing participants to come into Goldsmiths. In these instances we
usually cover reasonable travel costs, while many of our experiments
also include a cash reward or other incentives.
If you subscribe using the form below, we will ask you for your name
and a few basic contact details. These will be held securely by the
APRU and only used with your knowledge during your participation in our
research. A series of FAQ's are also listed below.
FAQs
What happens to my information?
The details you provide for the Participant Panel ensure that we are able to contact you about new research projects as they arise, but also to help us to only contact you about suitable projects, ie: we won’t contact you about studies conducted in Goldsmiths if you tell us it isn’t appropriate to travel. The information will be held securely and only accessed by the APRU researchers who will send you updates. No information will ever be passed to third-parties.
Can I obtain the results of a particular study?
The British Psychological Society has published ethical guidelines which state that all participants should be permitted the opportunity to have access to the results of any studies to which they have contributed, once concluded. The results and final report will often be made available on the Publications page of the APRU website, but if you are particularly interested in the results of a study, please contact us and we will ensure you are given a copy when appropriate.
Can I withdraw from the Participant Panel?
Yes, you can absolutely withdraw from the panel should you wish. If you wish to withdraw, please email apru (@gold.ac.uk) and we will ensure your details are removed from our database and that you are no longer contacted.
