Study Title: Poverty Attitudes and Fairness Perceptions: An ERP Study

The purpose of this study is to examine social attitudes, individual differences and brain activity during a series of decision-making tasks.

To be eligible to participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old.

Persons who may have factors that may influence neurological activity including history of concussion, history of epilepsy or seizures, or history of neurocognitive disorders may be ineligible for the study.

The study will be held in North Quad 067 and 069 and will take approximately 1½ - 2 hours of your time.

Prior to scheduling a data collection session in the lab, you will need to complete prescreening measures online to determine your eligibility for the study. Prescreening measures will include demographic and health characteristics (e.g., history of concussion), social attitudes, and individual differences in emotional responses.

If selected for the main experiment, you will complete a computerized task that involves engaging in a series of decision-making tasks.

The prescreening measures are estimated to take 10 to 20 minutes to complete. No compensation will be offered for the prescreening. Participants who qualify for the main study and present for the experimental task will earn $10 per hour for a maximum of $20. Participation up to one hour will earn $10 and participation over one hour will earn the participant $20. The main experiment is anticipated to take approximately 1½-2 hours.
