To advertise studies to potential participants, the faculty utilizes the SONA system, which is a research participation system for Social and Behavioral Sciences. Studies listed on this system may provide ‘proefpersoonuren’ (specifically for Psychology students) and/or financial compensation for participation.

Besides using the Sona system for advertising, researchers can also enhance the visibility of their study by posting flyers and posters. There are designated areas within the Langeveld Building where research posters are permitted to be displayed.

Upstairs at the reception desk
To display posters on the first floor, you must obtain approval from the security guard at the reception desk. Please consult the security guard for the necessary instructions.

Downstairs at the Tech Support Desk
To post flyers on the board next to the support desk, you must include an end date indicating when the poster should be taken down. Posters lacking an end date will be removed.

Prolific is an online recruiting service that gives access to a wide pool of UK/US participants, allowing you to select participants based on a wide range of criteria (age, gender, income, etc.). Prolific can easily be integrated with online Survey Tools such as Qualtrics and Gorilla.

You can create a Prolific account, add funds to the accounts balance, and use the platform to collect data. Following data collection you can reimburse the money spent on participant payments via the reimbursement portal on mijn.uu.nl. Make sure to include a document or screenshot from Prolific that shows the amount spent on paying participants. You can also e-mail fsw.fenc.kas@uu.nl with any questions/ for more information.

Please guide your participants to the waiting room (see picture) when you are inviting them to your research. You can also give directions to our labs by going to Route on our website.
