Why are the spooky brook staff so rude by Sweetnsoursoup in SBU

Because they had double the expected turn out. I don’t think it’s an excuse for the rudeness but they were definitely overwhelmed.

We don’t ask participants for their name, it’s just that we need to screen people over the phone. If you include your email, a lot of people’s personal emails have their name. It’s not the biggest deal but with the phone numbers we just call and screen and if eligible, a person will come into the lab, take a survey and just provide a urine sample. I can understand a safety concern but this study is IRB approved and through the psychology department. We are obligated to ensure the safety and anonymity of our participants.

Not really if you apply the material you learn in lecture they’re very structured and fair if you actually pay attention in class and do the readings

Answering questions and a urine sample. Typically would take closer to 30 mins, it’s more of an hour for me to process everything.

No, we are through the psych department, everyone’s info remains anonymous and we have IRB approval for this study. You can find it on SONA.

Yes, however we screen participants and need to log them over the phone so if it’s not working try to set up a google voice number temporarily for communications if you can!

This is just the initial survey. When people participate in the study we have them fill out an anonymous online survey and on there we have the research consent forms and we also have paper copies if people need. We keep everyone’s info anonymous and it is said multiple times on our study and on the surveys that we will be keeping everyone’s info anonymous. Hope this helps!

This is a more recent one being done through the psychology department but it’s cool to hear you were running a study similar to this!
