Off topic & small talk: Participate in scientific study (Page 3)

Falko wrote on 06.12.2023 at 14:48: This study in Cologne where members of Gamblejoe were called upon to participate already existed about 3 years ago. At that time some from the forum had participated. There was haggling over the money. At first it was too little what was offered, then the reward was increased and there were enough participants here. Wasn't Begbie one of the participants who took part in this study in Cologne?

Awesome that you remembered that. I had almost forgotten about it myself...

Btw the positive drug test was not an exclusion criterion, contrary to what was initially propagated. Could still participate xD

They then consulted their professor, who apparently assessed it differently.
But they had to take what they could get. It wasn't the case that the participants were running them ragged lol

Standing right in front of the Spielo and chatting people up, they could have caught a fist in the face pretty quickly.
Moreover, Gambling addiction is not something you can just peddle. It's a sensitive subject. For most people.
And yes, this is really only interesting for people who live in the area.
Or if you feel like doing science a service *g*

If you knew how many people do surveys for a few cents... or any Bachelor/Master surveys to get a chance to win a 10-25€ Amazon voucher.

I guarantee you that if it remained anonymous and the pay was made more attractive, they would have no problem finding people to do it. The problem is rather that they have a very limited budget (thanks to TV-L) and of course try to get as many data sets as possible. If they have €5,000, then it's already a lot.

3 days of 150 minutes each (without return journey) are 7.5 hours, as previously calculated. Certainly not bad for a daily wage of 140€, but due to the fact that you have to show up there on 3 different days, it is simply too little. In addition, most people simply don't have time during the week and, knowing some students, it won't happen on Saturday/Sunday.

Still makes a lot more sense than squatting here at GJ 24/7 and asking for an Interwetten code every hour
