Behavioural Research Lab CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore Yeshwanthpur

Participant pool

Take part in research at the Behavioural Research Lab

The Department of Economics runs studies on how people decide: about money, risk, trust, information and each other. Sessions are short, they are paid, and they run on campus. Register once to join the pool, then pick a session time for any study you are eligible for.

What taking part involves

What happens in a session

  • You arrive at the lab at your booked time and show your student or photo ID at check-in.
  • A research assistant gives you an information sheet and takes your written consent. You can read it and ask anything before you agree.
  • You complete a task on a computer, usually decisions with money at stake. Most sessions run between 30 and 60 minutes.
  • You are paid at the end, by UPI, and you sign for it.
  • You can stop at any point and still receive the show-up payment. Nobody will ask you to justify it.

Before you register

Who can join

  • You are 18 or over.
  • You can travel to the Bangalore Yeshwanthpur campus for a session.
  • You can read and follow instructions in English. Some studies also run in Kannada or Hindi.

Individual studies set their own criteria on top of these, for example an age band or a particular course of study. The system tells you which studies you can take once you have registered.

The rules of the pool

What the lab asks of you

Once Each person may take a given study one time only
30 days Minimum wait between two different studies
2 no-shows Unexplained absences before your membership is paused

The waiting period exists because somebody who played one decision task last week arrives at the next one already knowing its shape, and that changes the result. If you cannot make a session, cancel it on this site and it does not count against you.

Register for the participant pool

This puts your details on the lab's register. It does not book you into anything. Once you have registered you will see the studies you can take and can choose a time.

How the lab reaches you

Your email address and mobile number are also how you sign back in later, so use ones you will keep.

About you

These answers decide which studies you are shown. The lab collects nothing here that a study does not use to select participants or to check that its sample is balanced.
