Academic Psychology research program

Hey! I’m a junior Psychology major and I’ve just signed up for my first study for the PRP.

Has anyone done this before and what should I expect?

I had to do 10 hours of it last semester and only 2 could be done online. It’s really not hard. I got done with it before January even ended, so within the first month of having it. They will tell you before you start on what exactly you’re doing. Some of it does seem kind of wacky but it was nothing hard.

Yes, it was some random bullshit followed by a survey study at the end when I did it as it was required for my into to psychology class.

Yeah I have to do like 5 hours for a requirement but it also counts as extra credit in another class. I think the one I signed up for is problem solving? I just didn’t know what to expect

😂 I usually post my experiments on there. Thanks for everyone who does the grueling work.
