In order to participate in experiments conducted by the UF Economic Experiment Lab , you have to register online. By registering you're giving us permission to contact you when we are looking for volunteers for our experiments.
- For each experiment, some people in the database will get an invitation by email. Only those invited can take part in the experiment.
- If you get an invitation to participate, you must click on the internet link in the email invitation and select a session. By doing this, you've signed up for that session.
- You will be paid your earnings via cash or gift card. Your earnings will typically consist of a show-up fee (usually $5-$10) and additional earnings made during the experiment. These additional earnings usually depend on what decisions you and the other participants make during the experiment, and sometimes also on chance.
- Please note that if you are late or don't show up on time then the experiment might have to be cancelled. Because of this, if you sign up for a session, but do not show up a note will be added to your record in the database. If you get three such notes in the database, you will not receive invitations to future experiments.
- Due to possible no-shows (see above), we sometimes invite more people than are required for an experiment. If too many people arrive on time then the places are allocated on a first come, first served basis. However, if you show up on time yet do not participate, you will still be paid the show-up fee.
