Psychology research needs many participants in order to produce strong and reliable results. That is why we are always looking for people keen on taking part in our experiments.

At the bottom of this page you can find which projects we are conducting now. Some of them require your physical presence in our lab, in the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. However, you can also find studies which can be done online, wherever you are.

All our studies have been reviewed and approved by the College Ethics Committee at Royal Holloway, University of London.
