Hi guys,

So I am currently starting my final phase of data collection, and ironically I had assumed this would have been the easiest stage. I was recruiting students, giving them lollipops as an incentive, and figured they would be happy to take part. Boy was I wrong, I am struggling to gain any kind of traction from students and it is literally killing me.

Have you guys got any ideas on ways to encourage students to take part in research? If free sweets wont do it, then I am struggling to think what will.

Hi all,

I am new to this forum, but I am looking forward to meeting people who are in the same position as me and also seeing if I can help others.

I am currently collecting data for some online experiments that I am conducting as part of my PhD thesis. I was wondering if anyone would like to help me by taking part. It takes 5 minutes max, all you have to do is read a short blog on music and then answer 12 questions and it needs to be done via a smartphone. It's only open to residents within the UK and those over the age of 18 (which I would assume most people here are of that age). If you could help that would be greatly appreciated.
