Researchers at University of Pittsburgh Experimental Economics Laboratory (PEEL) are conducting studies about individual decision making. Students are being invited to participate and will be paid for their participation. Depending on the decisions that students make, they usually earn from $6 to $20 per hour. You will always earn at least $6 for showing up on time, even if you cannot participate because a session is already full. Experiments typically last between 1 to 2 hours and are currently being conducted entirely online. Participants are paid at the end of the experiment.
Participation does not require any special knowledge or skills. You will remain completely anonymous in the experiment. Your grades in your classes will not be affected. You can withdraw from an experiment at any time without any prejudice towards you. All experiments and methodologies are approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Pittsburgh.
