Things to Remember:
Researchers at the IBRC design studies for different groups (students vs. non-students, females vs. males, specific age ranges, etc.).
When you log in, you may not see the same studies that someone else sees, and that’s okay! The system is designed to only show you the studies in which you can participate.
Every study at the IBRC is different. Make sure you READ STUDY DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY and feel free to contact researchers directly (researcher contact information can be found under the “Study Information” tab) if you have specific questions.
Most studies take place at the IBRC, but studies may also be located at Fuqua B-Lab, Fuqua Social Cognition Lab, Levine Science Research Center, and the Social-Psychology Building on Duke’s West Campus and online.
