Studies for Adolescents and young

​adults

​Looking to complete your High School Community Hours?
​
Participate in Research Studies to receive volunteer hours! ​​
Participating in research can be a very rewarding experience. By volunteering your time to complete one of our studies, you are helping the research community develop a greater understanding of different areas of development. Adolescents can learn about Psychology and gain exposure to post-secondary education. You are also helping our University students collect data to complete their research projects for their education. 

When you come to the Lifespan Centre to participate in any of our research studies, we will provide:
  • Free and accessible parking. 
  • Flexible scheduling to accommodate you, including daytime, evening, and weekend appointments.​

LIST OF CURRENT STUDIES FOR ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS 

Youth Development Lab
Mind & Body Study - 12 to 30 year olds
This study is looking at decision making and how it changes as people grow up. The session involves a series of  questionnaires regarding your background, beliefs, and past experiences, computer tasks involving judgment and decision making, and some physiological recordings (height, weight, heart rate).

​The session will take between  120-180 minutes of your time. In appreciation of your participation, you will receive $15, plus a bonus prize!  

Social Cognitive Development Lab
Exploring Everyday Lies - 13+ year olds
The purpose of this study is to explore the types of lies that we tell on a daily basis. Participants will attend a one-time orientation session at Brock University to learn about the study and get set up to participate. We will download an app onto their smartphone where they will be sent daily surveys asking about any lies that they told that day. They will complete these daily surveys on your phone for seven days and then attend a closing session at Brock where they will complete questionnaires related to their cognitive and social development.
​
High school students can choose to receive $20 or 5.0 hours of community service. 
Any adults who participate will be compensated with $20 for participating (or can choose to receive 2.0 research credits if a Brock student).
