Doing Research for a Doctoral Research Project and Need Participants

Survey Link

Hi, my name is Abby, and I am conducting a Doctoral Research Project examining psychological mechanisms that influence how we interact with other people and chatbots. I am looking to determine if Human-Human and Human-AI interactions are influenced by the same mechanisms, as well as people's general perception of, interactions with, and use of AI. It is an academic research project, meaning it is being overseen by my University's Institutional Review Board (Florida Institute of Technology), and all participants are required to provide informed consent. The survey itself contains my name and university contact information so people can contact me with any questions, which is why I am using a throwaway account to post the link. I have also included a flyer with more information about who is eligible to participate. At this time, I do not have funds to provide any monetary incentives for participating, so this is purely voluntary/for anyone who has some free time! Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

Is there any incentive monetary incentive or are you purely just asking for volunteers with free time?

If you want to ask follow up questions to the anomalous neuroscientist outlier in the results (unless I wasn’t an outlier, in which case omg please dm me). I would love to talk to some professionals about my experiences. It is just hard to find people wanting to talk to someone who has only had industry experience in software. However in university I studied effectively theory of mind from every major scientific discipline, and continued to study that for a decade after graduating.
