Experiment Overview

Several Marketing Department faculty members are involved in experimental research

and need subjects to participate in research studies. Participation in one of these studies
will typically require a commitment of approximately 50 minutes outside class time.
You will need to schedule an appointment to participate in the lab studies and some
studies you may have the option to participate online. Sign-ups for the experiments are
on a first-come, first served basis, and not everyone can be accommodated in each
study. Earlier studies are sometimes seeking participants with definite characteristics or
behaviors. Later studies typically are open to everyone to participate.
