It was a very very long survey, but quite thought provoking, several different real life scenarios in which you had two choices to decide on, and then comment on why you made those choices..and then 54, yes "54" card games lol before it was all over.. I have a headache lmao.. Thanks Miranda:gdflower3:

The link works. After I completed the last page and clicked submit it took me to a blank page? I don't know if it went through or not.

Well its worth a shot, it only took a couple of minutes to complete. Good Luck!

Mine finished the whole thing and got a confirmation

Mine finished the whole thing and got a confirmation

Yup. I did too. I probably got it the first time. I had to exit full screen mode while I took it so I could scroll down the page. When I retried it I exited full screen mode on the last page and the confirmation was under where my toolbar would be. :g_dance:

Thanks!!!

Jarerice :gdflower3: Thank you !! I was able to take it too ..

Great I'm glad this is working for everyone!

Thanks! That was fun!

Maybe next time !!!

Dear Study Participant:

Thank you for your participation in this study.

You will be asked to recall a humiliating event from your life and to answer questions about your experience of the event.

This survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. (While there are a lot of pages, some pages only have one question.)

Once you complete today’s survey, you will automatically be entered for a chance to win $500.

Once 140 people have participated, the survey will close and the winner will be selected randomly to receive a $500 cash prize!

This research is being conducted by Jennifer S. Goldman of Columbia University. All responses are confidential. Information will not be made available except as a summary of general findings; no individual responses will be reported.

Emotions and Social Interactions

Dear Study Participant:

Thank you for your participation in this study on emotions and social interactions.

This survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. (While there are a lot of pages, some pages only have one question.)

You will be asked to read a scenario, imagine that it is happening to you, and respond to questions about the scenario.

In one week, you will be emailed Part 2 with brief follow up questions in a similar format.

Once you complete today’s survey, you will automatically be entered for a chance to win $200. Once you complete Part 2 next week, you will automatically be entered for a chance to win another $200.

Once 140 people have participated in Parts 1 and 2, the surveys will close and the winners will be selected randomly.

That’s a chance to win for completing both surveys!

This research is being conducted by Jennifer S. Goldman of Columbia University. All responses are confidential. Information will not be made available except as a summary of general findings; no individual responses will be reported.

I have no idea why I closed this thread??? Sorry.

D'oh, I missed it! Thanks though.

Thank you, Judith. This was the most interesting survey I have seen so far -- greatly appreciated you posting the link!

That one really made you think...good one!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!!! :gdflower3:

I found this on another site, and have no idea what the actual studies might involve. However, if they give us a shot at projects that are half as interesting as the Stanford ones, who's to complain?

Had a survey/ phone conference for $10 tonight and they needed 3 people to do the pre-survey and call in out of 4....only 2 of us called or even did the survey! This was one of those invitation only ones too so check your emails, there are still openings. He told us we'd be compensated still then he said we could sign-up again so I don't know what's going on but I signed up again. Anyone else get this?

this one slipped past me the first time....just signed up;)

here is another link. They still have openings for today.

http://www.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?decision_making

2 spots left! Hurry guys! I had to back out because I can't be sure I'll be home from the doctor in time. If I were to be late others in my group would lose their payment.

I did this 2x's and both times even though 4 signed up, only myself and one other person called! The guy told me I would still receive the money or I could sign-up again the 1st time then after I signed up for the 2nd time without enough people he said he'd just send me the money.

I just got an $8 survey from them...whoo hoo!!! First one that I've received!!!!

I signed up it shows everyones name and after I joined it says they will contact me when study begins? hmmmm

Received this in my email a few mins ago - Thought I'd pass it along!


Please consider taking part in a nationwide research study sponsored by the
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH.

The study will create a DNA collection from over 2,000 people to permit scientists to search for depression-related genes. These scientists will not be given any information that could identify you or your family.

BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATING:
• Help us with this difficult task.
• Finding relevant genes could lead to the development of better treatments.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
• People who have had 2 or more periods of depression.
• The first depression started by age 30 or younger.
• At least one brother, sister, or parent has also had depression (by age 40 or younger).
• We are unable to include people with bipolar disorder, or with bipolar disorder in the immediate family.

IF YOU VOLUNTEER:
• You will be interviewed about your personal and family mental health history.
• You do not need to live near our site. Interviews can be completed by phone.
• You will be asked for a blood specimen for DNA studies. This can be done in your own home or in our office.
• You may be asked for help in inviting family members to participate, but family participation is not required.
• Confidentiality is protected.

DO GENES CAUSE DEPRESSION?
Studies of depression in families suggest that around 50% of the predisposition to major depression is caused by genes. People with recurrent depression that starts at a younger age have more relatives with depression. There are probably many interacting genes, rather than a single gene as in some medical disorders.

WHY FIND THESE GENES?
Identifying these genes would help us to understand the brain mechanisms involved in severe depression.
This could lead to discovery of new treatments.

Compensation: Up to $100 for a 2-3 hour interview and a blood draw

You can sign up to take part in studies. I bumped it for people that may have missed this thread but I didn't read the OP. I will add that info to the OP. Thanks Judith.

Has anyone else received surveys from them recently? I have had 3 that are supposed to pay 8.00 each and I have heard nothing from them and have not been paid. :(

Nothing from them in awhile

I got all of mine today:)

I got mine today I had forgot about them owing me so it was a nice surprise :)

So I had a survey a few weeks back that I got kicked out of. Columbia did a great job handling this issue. After 25 min into the study I got kicked out. I emailed them and she said she'd try to get me back into the study. I actually had forgotten about it until going through my emails today. I emailed the lady back and said thanks for trying to get me back into the study. I guess it was unsuccessful. She just responded with the following:

Hi Chassie,

I'm not sure why some people get kicked out of the surveys. Thanks for
trying, and I hope you'll participate with us again.

I put $5 in your paypal account for your effort.

Thanks again,

Amy Krosch

I received a email for a $5 study. You have to be invited, however they are paying by pay pal now and I believe you have to sign up differently than the old one. I'm not sure but here's the link. Maybe you'll get an invite in the new study. Good Luck!
The CDS is now recruiting participants for online research. If you are interested in participating in online surveys for money (paid via Paypal), then please follow the link below:
