Laura: I would echo Stuart, encouraging you to take a look at the experiments listed at http://psych.hanover.edu/APS/exponnet.html, and http://www.socialpsychology.org/expts.htm.

I am part of a study here that will involve using the Web to recruit subjects and then "sign" an online consent form. We don't want to make people print and mail/fax the form. We want to do everything online with an eye of course on confidentiality and other traditional human subjects concerns.
Can anyone recommend some good examples of online consent forms? Or some articles on the subject?
Thanks, Laura Gurak

Laura,
There are few standards for electronic consents, or for verifying such consents. I suggest you look at some experiments at the following sites where you can get some ideas from what others have done.
The following site is sponsored by the American Psychological Association: http://psych.hanover.edu/APS/exponnet.html
This next site is sponsored by the Social Psychology Network: http://www.socialpsychology.org/expts.htm
