Subject Pool

The Psychology Subject Pools are comprised of individuals who wish to participate in research studies that are being conducted by University of Michigan faculty members and graduate students.

The Department of Psychology maintains two Subject Pools. The Introductory Psychology Subject Pool allows undergraduate students to earn credit through their Introductory Psychology course. The Paid Subject Pool is open to all and provides the opportunity to earn money through research participation.

Introductory Psychology Subject Pool

The Introductory Psychology Subject Pool allows students who are enrolled in an Introductory Psychology course to take a more active role in learning major concepts. The studies are designed and run by Psychology faculty, graduate students, and senior honors thesis students. No identifying information about participants will ever be used in connection to the results of the studies.

Student participants, researchers, and principle investigators (PI's) can access all the information needed for Subject Pool through the links below. Study participation may be accessed through Sona.
