Would you like to be compensated for watching television? Volunteers wanted for a study conducted at the University of Connecticut, "Television Viewing Today." The purpose of this study is to understand how audiences respond to television in a modern media environment.
If you are 18 years of age or older and have access to a Hulu or Amazon Prime account or you are willing to sign up for a free trial/be reimbursed for YouTube viewing, you may be eligible to participate.
This study will include the following procedures:
- An initial survey to determine study eligibility (10 minutes)
- Completing either one 3-hour long viewing session, or three 1-hour long viewing sessions (will be assigned randomly). You will in this time watch episodes of a popular television show. We now have options that you can participate asynchronously on your own schedule
- Completing a survey at the end of viewing the show (15 minutes).
- Completing a brief 4-week follow-up survey (10 minutes)
Participants will be compensated $10 for participating in the study. Participants will be paid cash via PayPal or Venmo, or in the form of an Amazon gift card. Each stage of the research completed will also equal one entry into a drawing for one of fourteen $25 and one $50 Amazon gift cards.
