Participant Pool
Welcome Students!
You are about to link to the Psychology Department's software management program – SONA Systems. Sona Systems is a new web-based program for managing human subject pools. At the click of the button below you can easily log on and view all available studies in the Psychology Department. You may view descriptions of each study and qualifications needed in order to participate in these studies. You can volunteer to sign up for a particular study provided that you meet the qualifications for participation. The system will probably also block you from participating if you do not meet the requirements for eligibility. It will automatically send email messages to you with reminders about the times and the locations of studies. This system also allows your professors to access information about whether or not you have fulfilled your extra credit or course requirements.

There is potential for helping on manuscript preparation, depending upon the project and the student. Generally, students are needed for 2-3 hours per week per credit.

Dr. Dan Richard
(drichard@unf.edu)Students interested in conducting research in my lab in the summer and fall of 2008 can expect to work on projects related to meta-analysis, implicit stereotypes, or cultural influences on dealing with contradiction. I have several existing data sets that are available for additional analysis, and I have new projects that require student project leaders. Student can expect to serve as experimenters collecting data from college students and/or to conduct library research on existing research. I meet weekly or as needed with my research lab or with research teams.
