A Study on Technology Acceptance to Support Personal Decision-making on a College Campus ($10 Incentive)

This is another round of recruiting participants for a study that was first shared in July 2022. If you already completed the screening questionnaire, thank you for your participation. You do not need to resubmit.

If you have not yet participated, please see the information below about a study open to all UMBC undergraduate students 18 years and older: 

We are conducting an online survey study to learn more about the willingness of individuals to accept a potential mobile app that shows an estimation of the occupancy level of different spaces (buildings, floors, etc.) on campus in real-time. This app could be used to support your personal decision-making in everyday situations such as deciding where to study or during a pandemic context when social distancing is required. 

We are inviting you to participate in our study. Your opinions are critical to developing a useful tool for supporting individual decision-making in these uncertain times!

You will be asked to complete a brief online Qualtrics screening survey that will take less than 5 minutes to complete and includes basic demographic-related questions as well as questions to understand your comfort in social settings. You will also be asked to provide an email address if you are willing to participate in the main study survey. Some students will then be selected to complete another online Qualtrics survey that will take less than 30 minutes and will explain the proposed technology and ask about your interest in and willingness to adopt this technology. 

To participate in this study, you must be a UMBC undergraduate student and 18 years or older.  

After completing the screening survey, you will be entered into a drawing to win one of ten $10 gift cards. If you are selected for and complete the main study survey, you will be compensated with a $10 gift certificate for your time and contributions. 

If you are interested in participating, please click on the following screening survey link to get started: https://umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_es8OcBeZC4q2ojY

Please contact the principal investigator, Dr. Tera Reynolds, at reynoter@umbc.edu with any questions or concerns.
