Earn Research Units by Method 1 (Participating in an Experiment):

To earn a research unit by participating in a research project, follow the procedure below:

  1. Go to the PSYCH10 Experiment Participation Systemwebsite.
  2. Log in to the system by using your username and password. Your username is the same as your csufresno.edu email username. (If you have forgotten or lost your password, you can retrieve it using the “Lost your password?” link on the bottom left side of the page.)
  3. Check the list of currently running experiments by clicking on the  “browse a list of studies and sign up for those that interest you” under “Study Sign-Up”
  4. You will see a list of experiments. Check your schedule and sign up for a session that you can attend.
  5. You will receive email reminders before the date of your experiment, but it is your responsibility to write down and remember your commitment to participate!
  6. Attend and be on time for your experiment. Participate seriously and completely, but also be aware that you are not obliged to complete the experiment if you feel uncomfortable in any way. Please Note: Failure to attend an experiment will result in a -1 research unit. Tardiness may also result in a -1 research unit. If you receive a -1 research unit, you will have to complete an additional research unit to reach your total of 5 research units.
  7. After your participation, your credit will be noted online, and you can check the credits you have earned so far by logging in to the Experiment Participation System(as in Steps 1 and 2 above). Please allow at least one week for the experimenter to enter your credits into the system.
