The Hudson Valley Community College Psychology Club is conducting a research study, which it hopes to present at the Eastern Psychological Association conference in spring 2016.<\/p>\n
This is a phenomenal opportunity for club members and our college, as undergraduates rarely have the opportunity to present original research at a conference. It is even less common for community college students.<\/p>\n
The topic of our study is \u201cSocial Life at a Community College.\u201d We are looking for 70 to 80 volunteers, between 18 and 25 years old, to participate in small focus groups of 6 to 8 people.
\nYou are being asked to participate in this study because you all are students at a community college. Your participation is voluntary and you are free to answer any questions you’d like, to withdraw your consent and\/or to discontinue participation at any time without penalty.<\/p>\n
Participation will require only about 15 minutes of your time. The focus groups are scheduled for Mondays, Dec. 7 and Dec. 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. You must be available for assignment to a group during these time periods.<\/p>\n
As a thank you, participants will be entered into a drawing for free movie tickets when they arrive for their focus group. We will be giving away five tickets.<\/p>\n
