Online Studies
Modern Psychology increasingly uses online technology for data collection, which makes it also possible to access a wider population than would be possible through face-to face research in the lab. Currently a number of online studies are being conducted by our staff and PhD students, click on the links below to explore what these studies are about, who can participate and what is involved in taking part.
Current Online Studies:
Online two part study investigating online interactions (Sarah Rohlfing)
Part one is a simple questionnaire (about 10-15 minutes). Part two is a short questionnaire followed by a live online discussion followed by a follow up questionnaire. The total time is a maximum of 60 minutes. You also have the chance to win a voucher worth £25.00 and chose where you want them for.
If you are interested, please contact me on sarah.rohlfing@port.ac.uk and I will send you your participant number and the link to the first part of my study.
You should not have taken part in my previous research, be confident in using a PC keyboard and be able to respond via typing. It would be beneficial if you have lived in the UK for 12 months prior to taking part, but it’s not essential.
Quality of working life and anticipation of retirement.
Has the recent changes in retirement age in the UK had an impact on your life? Dr Maggie Linnell and researchers at the University of Portsmouth are interested to know whether your views about retirement are affecting your experiences in your current employment. If you are lucky enough to be in employment, even if it is part-time, could you spare about 10 minutes to complete the following questionnaire? https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZXXH93Q. We would like the views of people of all ages, not just those approaching retirement.
