Dear colleagues,
Please see the research study notice below for information pertaining to a research study being conducted throughout the winter semester at the University of Guelph-Humber. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in providing this information to interested students and members of faculty/staff of Humber College.
Research study notice: Seeking South Asian (i.e., Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) participants native to Canada or enrolled as an international student to explore a possible route to better understanding how we recognize and learn faces from one's own ethnicity background and other ethnicity backgrounds (known as the other-race effect). For around one hour of your time, you will earn a $20 gift card!
The study involves matching photographs of different people together by viewing multiple photographs of a faces. This involves trying to find a different photograph of the correct person in a selection of 30 different people. With important applied implications for verification of identity, this is a fun learning experience with compensation for participants.
More details about the study will be emailed to interested students and members of faculty/staff who self-identify as South Asian (i.e., Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) - these details are provided in an information letter, which will be attached to the email. Each interested student/staff/faculty is advised to read over the letter before proceeding to view a linked schedule, which shows when the study is being run. Please note that this study is taking place at the University of Guelph-Humber on Humber College's North Campus.
If you wish to find out more information about the study - with no obligation to participate if you do not wish after reading the information letter - then please contact Ms. Rachel Simec or Ms. Ankita Arora at OREProjectUGH@gmail.com.
