$100 for your thoughts…

 

 

The Palo Alto Research Center, Inc. (PARC) seeks participants in a user study about everyday life of college-aged individuals in Palo Alto.  We’ll pay you $100 in exchange for sharing information about your activities in commercial areas over a week.

 

Study enrollment qualifications:

 

* age 19-25

* go to the Stanford Shopping Center or commercial district around University Avenue at least twice a week 

 

Study details:

 

We give you a mobile device to carry for a week.  When you visit the Stanford Shopping Center or the commercial district around University Avenue, it buzzes every 15 minutes to ask you a short set of questions about where you are and what you're doing.  It takes less than a minute to answer the questions.  After the study is over, we interview you to find out more about your activities, such as how often you do them, whether you always perform them in the same sequence, etc.  

 

We pay you $1 for every question set completed, $1 for every new place you visit (all subject to a $25 / day cap), and $50 for the interview.  You have to go to the Stanford Shopping Center or University Avenue at least once during the week to be eligible for the interview.  You can always skip any question, and are free to stop participating at any time.
