Sign Up For Fun Study and Receive $5

Title: INVESTIGATING THE INFLUENCE OF PERSONALITY TRAITS ON EXERCISE REGIMENS

Dear fellow Auggies,
My name is Ali Kanan and I am an undergraduate student from the Psychology Department at Augsburg College. I am writing to invite you to participate in my summer research project. The purpose of this study is to examine how motivational traits influence how persistent one is in an exercise session. Through this process we hope to gain knowledge and a better understanding on how to help people to find the motivation to continue or begin exercising for their own health benefits.

The study involves filling out a series of questionnaires relating to the topics of motivation, personality, and exercise. Following the questionnaires, you will be asked to perform three physical tasks (roughly 5 minutes each). The experiment will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, and as compensation you will receive five dollars for participating in the study. All information concerning identity of participant, including the collected data, will remain anonymous and confidential.

In order to be eligible as a participant of this study you must: 1) Be between the ages of 18-65, and is/has participated in some form of physical activity, 2) Pass a health screening questionnaire prior to the experiment, 3) NOT exercise before the experiment on the day of testing.
If you meet the above criterion, and decide you want to participate, or would like more information about participating, contact: Ali Kanan at 763-614-4852 (kanan@augsburg.edu), or Dr. Ben Denkinger at 612-330-1172 (denkinge@augsburg.edu).

**Sign up using the link below, OR, shoot me and email/call if you would like me to set it up for you! Thanks!
