Would you like to participate in a Food Preference study?

January 18, 2014 08:00PM
McGill University 's Laboratory for Natural and Simulated Cognition is conducting a research project on how people make food choices. The purpose of the study is to better understand the determinants of such choices.

It is an on-line study and will only take a few minutes of your time. Your participation would be greatly appreciated!

Note: this is the second phase of the study; even if you participated before, you are still welcome to do it again!

Anyone ever do focus groups?

I do focus groups locally. Only about two a year, you have to wait for them to call you, then you have to qualify for whatever the group is about.

I love doing focus groups and get called several times a year for ones here locally. Only problem is that since I am a little 'ol lady in tennis shoes with no kids, no pets, etc. and live alone I usually get eliminated in the initial phone call. I did do one in August on health insurance. The focus groups usually pay pretty well. The August one paid $75 and took no more than about 2 hrs. of my time (including drive time).

When I was a student at McGill, I was a regular participant of their research studies and was always paid, no matter how small the task was. I'm surprised they're not offering any monetary compensation. The school must be hard up for money. Or think we're just a bunch of suckers.

Here's my food preference,
Chocolate, Chocolate covered Mint, Chocolate covered Cherries, Chocolate covered Ginger. If I had any bacon, that would be chocolate covered also. Oh, I almost forgot, those little chocolate bottles that are filled with liquor.

It is called "snowball sampling." While not a good technique to control bias, it does get plenty of data. This is likely an undergrad project with no budget allocated.

I participated in all sorts of studies at UWaterloo years ago, and always made a few bucks. Those were grad level studies, though. If I ever wanted opinion data for my own undergrad project, I was off to the mall or other place people gather to try to intercept people. There was no internet then, as we know it, so we had to pound pavement for data.

I do those kind of surveys on Amazon Mechanical Turk and I make anywhere from $70 to $80 dollars a week. It takes a lof of time, though. But, I have a lot more time than money.
