Are you a first-year student at CU Boulder? Interested in a research study on stress and coping in CU students? 

The Research on Affective Disorders and Development Lab is conducting research on stress coping in first year CU students. We want to understand what helps CU students cope with stress during major transitions, including the transition to college and across semesters.

The study includes a few different parts that happen over the three-semester study period: 

• There are two in-person research sessions, each of which takes about four to six hours. During these sessions, you will play some computer games while we monitor physical functioning (for example, your heart rate). You will also complete a set of interviews and surveys that ask about stress, behavior, mood and health.
• There are three 21-day periods in which we will send you a daily “micro survey” (less than five minutes to answer) asking about your behavior and mood using an app.
• There are two one-hour online surveys that we will send to your email.
• The study takes place over the course of three semesters, and you will be compensated for your participation (maximum of $446–$470 for completing all parts of the study).

If you want to learn more, contact the RADD Lab at raddlab@colorado.edu or fill out our initial eligibility screening.

The SHINE Lab at CU Boulder is recruiting participants for a cognitive neuroscientific study that aims to understand how people make decisions and judgments about online information and what makes them more susceptible to making errors. The study will use several surveys and computer-based tasks to study this. Brain activity and eye-tracking data will be collected during these tasks. If you do not want your data to be recorded, you may decide not to participate in this study at any time.

Who can join this study:

• Ages 18–65
• Can speak and read English
• Comfortable and familiar using computers
• Comfortable and able to communicate via email, text or phone

Who cannot join this study:

• Those with history of seizures or epilepsy

Where:

Details: You will be asked to complete some surveys for $15, which will take no more than a half hour, and then to complete some computer tasks ($30), which will take no more than one hour.

While there are no direct benefits to you as a participant, you will gain a unique look at how cognitive neuroscience research is conducted all while having fun! There may be some minor discomfort after wearing the fNIRS cap for more than two hours. As with any research, there is some possibility of risks that have not yet been identified.
