Fellow Internet researchers, We would like to present a unique Internet research opportunity to you. We have been working on developing a database of individuals who are willing to participate in online research (http://www.StudyResponse.com). Approximately 850 people have registered to be participants with the service as of today. We have completed one study (and are nearly finished with data collection for a second) using this database, and are eager to do another. The response rate for the first study was about 60%, and promises to equal that for the second study. We had a demographically diverse group of 50 males and 100 females, with ages ranging from 18 to 77 years old (M=39), a wide distribution of occupations and educational levels, and various work situations (i.e. full time, part time, temp, etc.). The majority of participants reported being very comfortable computers and the Internet. The respondent group did not differ from the non-respondent group on any demographic variables of interest. A more complete description of the panel in terms of age, gender, race, occupation, work situation, and educational level is available at http://www.psychology.gatech.edu/eweiss/sample.htm . We are also developing a page detailing the results of past studies at http://www.psychology.gatech.edu/eweiss/priorstudies.htm . We'd like to know if you would be interested in conducting a study using our database. The study should require not more than 425 participants (assuming an approximate 50% response rate, for estimation purposes), and should involve an incentive of some kind (either a raffle or a direct payment to participants). You would need to provide us with a recruitment e-mail to send out to our group. You are also responsible for setting up and maintaining your online survey. At the end, we will provide you with information on non-respondents and any information you may need for payment. If you'd like more information, don't hesitate to contact us. You can also visit the StudyResponse.com website and click on the link for "researchers" to learn more about how the process works. Thanks! Jeff Stanton and Elizabeth Weiss Elizabeth Weiss, M.S.
