1. $150 in gift cards for tasting food and tracking meals!
The Department of Psychology at Bowling Green State University is conducting a study on the influence of memories on taste perception. If you enroll and complete the study, you will complete one in-person visit and three online visits. Over the course of the study, you will complete 16 days of answering questions about eating and emotions on your phone. Qualified participants who complete the study could earn up to $150 in gift cards! If you are interested and for further details and eligibility criteria visit our website.
2. Asian Participants Needed: Covid-19 Research Study with $10 Gift Card Compensation
The purpose of the study (BGSU IRB: 1741456) is to understand if ethnicity, specifically east and southeast Asian heritage, impacted emotional eating during the pandemic. The study includes a virtual interview (less than an hour). Anyone who identifies as Asian, is at least 18 years old and currently lives in northwest Ohio is invited to participate. Participants who complete the interview will be compensated for their time with a $10 Amazon gift card. If you would like to participate in this study, please contact Dr. Wan Shen at wanshen@bgsu.edu or Dr. Lucy Long at lucyl@bgsu.edu. Feel free to forward this information to others.
