We continuously conduct studies both online and in the laboratory. Interested parties are welcome to participate or register for the studies via the following links. It is possible to allocate subject hours to students at the University of Siegen via Sona (0.25 subject hour = 15 minutes of study participation).
Digital certificates can be issued for students from other universities. In this case, please clarify in advance whether these certificates are recognized by your university.
Personality and Contextualized Experiences (PACE) Study (9 VP-Stunden)
The Personality and Contextualized Experiences (PACE) Study examines how individuals differ in the ways their experiences and behaviors change over time and across different situations in everyday life. The study consists of three parts and may take up to 30 days in total. We ask you to only participate if you are available for the entire duration of the study. Psychology students from the University of Siegen can register for the study via SONA: https://uni-siegen.sona-systems.com. Please contact the study team at psy.dynamics@hu-berlin.de for questions and comments.
For participating in the study, you can receive up to 9 hours of course credit (VP-Stunden), a chance to win 100 Euros, and individual feedback. For example, we will let you know in which places or with which activities you spend most of your time, when and where you were happiest, and how your stress changes within a day and across a week.
Part 1 should take no longer than 1 hour and must be completed on a computer. You will be asked to answer several questions about your personality and daily life. In Part 2, you will receive multiple short surveys (less than 4 minutes) per text message or email (depending on your preference) for 14 or 28 days depending on the condition you were randomly assigned to. In the short surveys, we will ask you questions about your current experiences and behaviors, as well as about your momentary situation (e.g., where you are, whether you have company, etc.). Part 3 again should take no longer than 1 hour and must be completed on a computer. We will ask you questions about your personality, well-being, and experience with Part 2.
