My name is Miguelangel Ortega and I am a senior at Ball State University. I am currently in my psychology capstone course and am conducting a research study through Qualtrics. This study is IRB-approved with the title “Personal Characteristics and Reading the Room” and has the IRB number IRB-FY2026-250. Interested individuals must be 18 years or older to participate. The purpose of this study is to determine how personal characteristics can change a person’s ability to assess social situations. As such, you will be asked to fill out questions about your personal characteristics, read a story about a social situation, then be quizzed on the story’s details, and finally, you will answer a few questions about yourself. It should take no more than 15-20 minutes to complete this survey and will not have compensation for completion. The link to this study is https://bsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1RMB4gNyLMnjNxY.
For more information, please feel free to contact student investigator Miguelangel Ortega (miguelangel.ortega@bsu.edu) or principal investigator Dr. Adam Lueke (aklueke@bsu.edu), who are both researchers affiliated with Ball State University.
Sincerely,
Miguelangel Ortega
