:: Evaluation of Person Interactions ::
  Susanne Quadflieg
New York University
  This experiment has ended. Here is a debriefing and description of what was done: "In our study, we presented participants with a series of photographs. Each photograph showed two people involved in an interaction. For instance, participants would see a person giving a gift to another, two people carrying boxes, a couple dancing and so on. In each picture, one of the two individuals was marked with a star (*). Participants were asked to focus on this target when making their judgments. For each picture, we asked participants to indicate whether the person seemed intelligent, likeable, animate, able to have emotions, and machine-like. We also asked participants to rate whether they would find “seeing a person acting like this” believable, eerie, and safe. At the end of the survey, we asked participants to complete a short personality questionnaire and to answer some demographic questions (age, gender, education, religion, nationality). We are interested in how ratings on the above dimensions may differ depending on whether a person is engaged in a mainly instrumental interaction (e.g., one person helping another with carrying boxes) or in a mainly social interaction (e.g., one person engaging in a chat with another), and whether differences (if any) are influenced by a perceiver’s personality and demographic background." The instructions were: "You will be asked to look at a series of person interactions and to evaluate each interaction according to several dimensions (e.g., how safe, intelligent, likeable etc. a target person seems to you). At the end of the study, we will ask you to provide some personality information (e.g., whether you consider yourself calm, extraverted etc.) and demographic information (e.g., your age, gender, nationality). Participation will take you about 30 min. "

  We invite you to spend a few minutes in a global survey that intends to map the structure of science by collecting the individual appreciations of many thousands researchers, scholars etc. about which disciplines "fit together". The survey is completely anonymous and you don't disclose any personal information beside a general statement about the field in which you work. You decide how long the survey takes. The survey works a follows: Every screen shows you three boxes denoting scientific disciplines - two on the upper row and one on the lower row. When you move the cursor over each box, you get a short text explaining this discipline. The task is to decide, which one of the two disciplines of the upper row fits best to the discipline highlighted in blue of the lower row. Check the left box, if the upper left discipline fits better, or the right box, if the upper right discipline fits better. Try to decide between the two disciplines, whenever possible. However, if according to you opinion neither discipline has any similarity with the discipline highlighted in blue, check the box “no similarity”. After you have made your decision, click next and a new triplet of disciplines will appear. If you want to stop the survey, just click stop.

:: Development of a Self-Report Measure of Reward Responsivity ::
  John Hughes; Jean-François Etter
University of Vermont; University of Genevaonline pa
  Decreased reward responsivity is usually defined as a reduction in the reinforcing efficacy of most rewards (nb – we are using the term “reward” to refer to presumed reinforcers). Anhedonia is a related concept that is typically defined as decreased pleasure from rewards. Apathy is also a related concept that is typically defined as reduced motivation to acquire rewards. However, there is often substantial overlap in how the three are defined. All three constructs have been hypothesized to occur in several psychiatric disorders such as depression, drug abuse, schizophrenia, and alexithymia. The aim of this study is to develop a self-report measure of reward responsivity/anhedonia/apathy.

:: Sense of Community and Personality Research Study ::
  Kath Boekamp
Curtin University, Perth, Western Australiaonline pa
  Most people know when they have a Sense of Community and when they don’t. There are many factors that contribute to the development of a Sense of Community. Some factors are Environmental (i.e., size of town/suburb), others are Individual factors (i.e. extroversion or optimism). Little research has been done on whether individual personality type factors have any bearing on how someone develops a Sense of Community. I’d like to invite you to take part in a study which will provide information to help us understand how people connect to their community as well as how we might support and even improve these connections. Each questionnaire includes instructions on the type of questions that will follow and the way to respond (such as giving a rating on a 5 point scale on how much you agree with a statement from very little to a lot). In total the survey should take you no longer than 30min, possibly less. All your responses to the questionnaires and personal information will be kept absolutely confidential. Your name will be converted to a code number, and only the anonymous group average data from all participants will be used for any published research.
