Recruiting Volunteer Research Participants for a Listening Study
Lewis College of Human Sciences Associate Professor of Psychology and his team of researchers are conducting a four-phase study on the 7 Cups of Tea 鈥渓istener experience.鈥
What is 7 Cups of Tea? 7 Cups of Tea is an online community that brings together people who are struggling with volunteer listeners. In order to be a listener, you must complete a short online training program to help prepare you. You can then participate in text chat conversations that are free, anonymous, and confidential as frequently or infrequently as you like. If as a listener you think the person you鈥檙e chatting with is struggling with something that is more serious than you feel prepared to help them with, the site helps you refer your client to a professional therapist or counselor.
Interested? In order to qualify for this study you must be 18 years or older. Each of the four phases take approximately 30 minutes to complete, and participation in each phase is 100% voluntary. If you鈥檙e enrolled in a participating psychology course, you can also earn two hours of research participation credit on Sona. However, any member of the 桃子视频APP community can volunteer.
