Taking part as a member of the public

If you would like to take part in our exciting range of research projects, then you can find out about upcoming studies and how to become a participant by signing up to the mailing list through JISCMail.

Ageing-focused research

The Older Adults Participant Pool in the School of Psychology is a separate list for people over 60 who are interested in hearing about and partaking in psychological studies. We have a large range of exciting projects taking place throughout the year and if you would like to join the participant pool or would like more information on how it works please email pscage@leeds.ac.uk with your name, age and contact details (email and/or telephone number).

How to take part in research as a current student

You can take part in research projects as a participant through our Participant Pool. This is a resource within the School of Psychology which allows Level 3, Masters and PhD students to use Level 1 and Level 2 students as anonymised participants in their research projects.

This is a useful way for participants to learn about the way that psychological studies are conducted and are also ways to earn credit for use of the resource. As well as supporting research within the School of Psychology, these credits add up to allow you to use the Participant Pool yourself in your final year research. If you're not a student at the University you can still get involved in research by signing up through the mailing list below.

Accessing the Participant Pool

The Participant Pool can be accessed via leeds.sona-systems.com. Alternatively, you can find it through the mobile app - simply search 'sona mobile' in the App store or Google Play Store.
