Research Participation Credit Policy

The current policy in the department is that all students enrolled in face to face and online Introduction to Psychology (1010) courses be involved in a minimum of 10 credits of research. For online research studies, one credit is defined as 15 minutes of involvement in an approved research activity. For studies conducted in person, students will receive 2 credits for each 15 minutes of involvement.

Because it is important that research credits be assigned accurately for each project, it is recommended that researchers carefully screen projects to determine the amount of time the project will require of the participant. This can easily be done for web-based studies through the "Preview" feature of Qualtrics
