Paid Student Research Opportunity

Researchers at the University of Maryland are interested in learning about your reactions to racial stigma, bias, and discrimination.


You must identify as African American or Black and be between 18 and 25 years of age to participate.

Participation involves viewing a series of pictures—some of them graphic in nature and intended to elicit a strong reaction. We will also ask that you perform a series of computer tasks while we record your body and brain’s responses. To do this, we ask to place sensors on your head, forearms, palms, and face. You will also be asked to complete several questionnaires assessing various attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and life events.

Total time to participate will be approximately 4 hours. You will earn $54 for participating plus up to a $6 bonus. Eligibility will be determined via the completion of a brief, non-compensated online screener.

Take the screener at: https://umdsurvey.umd.edu/jfe/form/SV_cOAOq7NOrt1hKMS
