This email has been
sent on behalf of a UW-led research team in collaboration with researchers from
Pennsylvania State University.
My name is Dr. Owen
Gallupe and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and
Legal Studies at the University of Waterloo. I am leading a study examining the
effect of the sight of rewards on task performance and I am looking for
undergraduate students to participate in a one time, 35 minute experiment. This
study has implications for incentive programs to promote good behaviour in
prison settings. All participants will be provided with a $20 gift card to
local businesses for their participation in this research.
Participation will
include a simple mental task followed by a short questionnaire.
You must be an undergraduate student at least 18 years of age to participate in this study. The experiment will be conducted in the Psychology, Anthropology, and Sociology (PAS) building, room 2061. Your identity will remain strictly confidential. All information you provide will be treated as anonymous.
If you are a student currently
on a co-op semester off campus, please note that you will likely be unable
to participate this semester given the majority of sessions occur between
the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm. Please consider this before responding to
participate.
If you would like to participate, have additional questions, or would like additional information to assist you in reaching a decision about participation, please contact Pat Lalonde by email at p2lalond@uwaterloo.ca. You can also contact me at ogallupe@uwaterloo.ca or 519-888-4567 ext. 33361.

If you choose to
participate, Pat Lalonde (p2lalond@uwaterloo.ca) will work with you to find a
suitable time. Please exercise patience as the scheduling process can take some
time to complete.
If you participated in
our previous study in 2013/2014, or if you already signed up for and
participated in this study during the Fall 2015 or Winter 2016 semesters, you
cannot participate in this study.
This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics Committee. However, the final decision about participation is yours.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Owen Gallupe, Ph.D.
