:: Map of science study ::
  Markus Christen, Thomas Ott
Universität Zürich
  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.

:: Where’s My Mind? A Mobile App Study for Android Phone Users ::
  Jessica R. Andrews-Hanna & Joanna J. Arch
University of Colorado, Boulder
  Do you ever wonder what you’re thinking about? Do you ever find yourself lost in thought? Do your thoughts make you feel inspired? Anxious? Happy? Do you wish you could gain a better sense of your thoughts and see how they compare to others’? Welcome to Where’s My Mind?, an app that helps you answer these questions by allowing you to track your thoughts at random moments throughout the day. By using this app, you will also help make possible the development of a large international database of internal thinking. This database will help foster important future scientific research. How does this app work? This app is divided into 4 parts. Each part is described below. • Part 1 will ask some basic questions about you (such as the country you live in), and when you wake up and go to bed (which tells the app when to track your thoughts). This part will take about 3 minutes. • Part 2 will ask you questions about your beliefs, feelings, and goals. This part will take about 3-5 minutes. • Part 3 will help you track your thoughts over multiple days. The app will send a notification to your device at 4 random times each day during waking hours, helping you to record the nature of your thoughts and activities immediately prior to receiving the notification. Responding to a notification takes only 1-2 minutes. • Part 4. After responding to 40 notifications, you will have the opportunity to view your thought report and compare your thoughts to those of other users. You can choose to see graphs displaying what kinds of things you typically think about, whether you find your thoughts to be helpful or unhelpful, how often your thoughts are focused on-task versus off-task, and more! Your graphs will be updated as you continue to use the app and as the database grows.

:: An Internet Study: The relationships between men's self-reported physical attributes, body image, self-esteem and internet dating ::
  Annabel Chan, Gerard Kennedy
Victoria University, Australia
  There has been quite a lot of research conducted on women's body image and we have a reasonable understanding of the types of factors that impact on women's body image and that ultimately lead to disorders like Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa. However, we know very little about men's body image and the factors that impinge on the way males think about their bodies. Consequently we also know very little about how this impacts on men's health. Do you want to do something about it? If so, you are invited to take part in a research project that will focus exclusively on men's body image. Previous research has highlighted the impact of men's physical attributes on body image and how men perceive their own body. The purpose of this study is to further explore the relationship between physical qualities of men, their body image and self-esteem, using an Internet sample. All men above the age of 18, who have at least basic literacy in English, are invited to participate in this study. If possible, please have a tape measure ready. The questionnaire consists of 62 mostly multiple-choice questions and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your responses will remain anonymous and no identifying information will be collected. You are free to withdraw from this study at any time.

:: Sequential decision-making under uncertainty in a video game ::
  Paul Schrater, Daniel Acuna
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesotaonl
  If you agree to be in this study, we would ask you to do the following things: play games that involve decisions over uncertain rewarding alternatives. You will be asked to simultaneously play several virtual slot machines that give you points in a random fashion (much like simultaneously playing several real slot machines in a casino where you do not know which machine is the best). For each game, you will have the opportunity to pull the levers a randomly limited number of times. This is, 2 out of 100 pulls may randomly stop the current game, making you collect the points, and playing the next game. This does not mean that the probability of ending the game increases over time, but it stays fixed. For example, if you survived the pull number 4, you need to think that you have to have survived the first, second, and third pull, each of which has a 2% probability of stopping the current game. You will be asked to play 48 of these games separated into 4 stages, each of which will have different number of machines and different payoff behaviors. Keep in mind that each set of games is different for each subject. Each game typically involves 1.5 minutes of playing, but you can take as much time as you want. Moreover, you can play each game any time you want, spaced over a period of time. We would not be surprised if you play either all the games consecutively or just one per day. We expect solving all games would take 60 min of game play, but again, you can take as much time as you want.

:: Male and Female Victims of Dating Violence in Both Heterosexual and Same Sex Relationships: Differences in Attachment Style and Help-Seeking Behavior ::
  Kathleen Kline, Matthew Geyer
Walden University
  Current research on dating violence has established that victimization by dating violence is a major social problem accross college campuses. Victimization by dating violence exists regardless of a student's gender or sexual orientation. Many victimized by dating violence experience consequences ranging from physical injury to enduring psychological trauma and even death. A link between attachment style and help-seeking behavior among individuals seeking help for various medical and psychiatric/psychological problems has led to the development of innovative interventions designed to assist those who would not otherwise seek help. The purpose of the study is to examine differences in type of violence experienced, attachment style and help-seeking behavior or type of help sought among both male and female victims of dating violence in both heterosexual and same-sex dating relationships among college students to further research in this area which could lead to the development of effective screening protocols and interventions specifically designed to assist victims of dating violence regardless of gender or sexual orientation who might not otherwise seek help. This web-based, online, completely anonymous and confidential survey is hosted on a secured, password protected, encrypted survey service site, www.surveymonkey.com. The Walden University Institutional Review Board has granted approval to conduct this study.

Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australiaansonline.c
  In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of research exploring the relationship between the ways in which we express our emotions and how that impacts our relationships with others. In particular, previous research has looked at how parents thoughts and feelings about their own and their children's emotions and behaviours relates to children's awareness of their own emotions and emotions of others. We would like to invite you to participate in a study about parents thoughts on their emotions and their childrens emotions, and how cultures differ in these patterns. The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the ways in which children learn how to manage and express their emotions. The survey should take approximately 25 to 30 minutes to complete. We would truly appreciate your participation and honesty in your responses to the questions to enable us to understand the impact parents have on their childrens emotional functioning. We are seeking both mothers and teachers of children between the ages of 3 and 7 years to fill out the questionnaire. Mothers, if you choose to participate, you will be asked about your cultural orientation, your views and understanding of emotions, how you deal with your childrens emotions, and how they express their emotions. Your responses will be completely anonymous and confidential. Results of the study may be published in an academic journal, but only as group data, so that no individual will be identifiable. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. Your initial agreement to participate does not stop you from discontinuing participation and you are free to withdraw at any time. The submission of your questionnaire will be taken as consent for your data to be used in the study. Your interest in this study would be greatly appreciated.
