$5 Cash Incentive for Research Study Participants

Hello Fellow Auggies!

My name is Anabel Chavez, a Social Psychology major and McNair Scholar at Augsburg College. I am conducting research this summer, and I would like to invite you to participate in my study!

This study measures how autobiographical memories can affect satisfaction in a romantic relationship. Therefore the study will ask for participants to disclose two personal relationship-defining memories. Participants are required to be at least 18 years of age and are currently involved in a romantic (but not marital) relationship. Participants will also need to have been in their current romantic relationship for at least 6 months (or longer). Anyone from the Augsburg community is able to participate!

The study contains two phases, one which requires you to complete an online survey on your own time or at home (5-10 minutes), and the second phase requires you to come to campus to take a more extensive survey (20-30 minutes). Participants will also receive a $5 cash compensation at this time.

For any further questions, concerns, or to schedule an appointment, please send me an email at chavez@augsburg.edu

Thank You!

He will be accepting his Honorable Mention certificate this weekend at the event, which features oral debate finalists from St. Paul, Moorhead, San Francisco, and London, England. This year's question involved whether income inequalities threaten democracy.
