  • Raters Needed For a Study - Participants Requested

    Have you played the creative thinking games we held before? If not, you are invited to participate in a research study to be a rater for a creative game. Once selected as a rater, you will be able to see and rate creative responses for each gamer.

    This study session will take you approximately 10 hours to complete, and all the procedures can be completed online. We request that the rating be completed within 2 weeks once get started. You will get a $100 cash compensation for your participation.

    If interested, please send an email to jiajun.guo@uconn.edu, and attach a short description of yourself (including your department/major, which year you are in, and graduate student or not). You must be comfortable with google docs and google sheets. You will be notified via email once you are selected.

    Due to the conflict of interest, please ignore this message if you have played the game.

    You do not have to be in this study if you do not want to be. We will be happy to answer any questions you have about this study.
