Not to worry! If you time travel to 17th c, you can constantly check your pocket watch!

Samuel Pepys (1665): "how much of my old folly and childishness hangs upon me still that I cannot forbear carrying my watch in my hand in the coach all this afternoon, and seeing what o'clock it is 100 times"

And wasn't that exchange w/ the Brazilian student telling the Chicago senior citizen about his parents not allowing him to go to Lollapalooza -- just as sweet as could be!

I think the key might be connecting with senior centers. In my Psychological Effects of the Internet course, for one assignment, students spend an hour teaching an older adult (>60yo) a new Internet-based skill. The senior centers in my community beg for the students to come out and teach there!

Even better: Students learning a second language Zooming with older people who use that language and who live in retirement facilities (and are eager to chat!).

I've shown this video in my "Psychological Effects of the Internet" for years, and the students love it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S-5...

Thanks!

I always assumed (maybe was even taught this) that it was 'foot in the door' technique; demographic items might be the items participants are least inclined to disclose. Put them last after participants have already invested in the study (aka: opened the door and let the researcher in, so to speak!)

Ah yes, and I just finished my second tour of four-years of duty on a such named committee, chairing it for seven of those eight years! Surprised? :)

Totally agree! We even have empirical data that "special needs" evokes more negativity than the term "disabled." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Specificity, contexts, and reference groups matter when assessing autistic traits Many of the personality and behavioral traits (e.g., social imperviousness, directness in conversation, lack of imagination, affinity for solitude, difficulty displaying emotions) that are known to be...

Yes! I agree completely! That's why we did this study: "Specificity, contexts, and reference groups matter when assessing autistic traits" journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Here's what I do with undergraduates (juniors/seniors) in Research Methods. It's Unit 5: Assignment #4 in this Open Access course.

(Unit 5: Assignment #3 is about filenaming, one of my penchants!)

You are welcome to use any or all material in the entire course! online225.psych.wisc.edu

Hand raised!

Yes! So true! And after living nearly 10 years in the state of ORE-uh-gun, then moving to Wisconsin, I learned a new shibboleth -- the town (nearby Madison) pronounced Ore-ee-GONE!

You’re welcome wise anything and everything in my open access research methods course. I hope it helps!

Might I just mention how delighted I am to see Neil, who I know from the open science world, and David, who I know from the disability world, connecting -- and over potatoes! Well done!

Thanks so much for this guidance. I'll share it with my university, who also use red tabs with white text (wisc. edu) throughout their webpages, so they might too be unaware.

p.p.s. Back to the Research Methods course, there's also material about replication and reproducibility in Unit 4.

Thanks again!

p.s. There is a section about research transparency! It's in Unit 10. Also in my open-access Basic Stats course (its theme is purple/white so you again might want to use a grayscale filter), there's a whole unit about reproducilbility and replication. I hope that's helpful! online210.psych.wisc.edu

Thanks so much for your support! RE: the red/white theme, have you tried turning on "differentiate without color" or turning on a gray scale filter? That might help not only with my course website but with other sites! I hope so!

Perhaps too basic (but then again is there ever too basic? :)): Feel free to use whatever parts of Units 11 and 12 in my open-access (undergraduate) Research Methods course. online225.psych.wisc.edu

Previously we watched Muppet Family Christmas, which blends Muppets, Sesame Street characters, and Fraggle Rock characters, Pass It On! Love the Jim Henson cameo at the end.

We have the same movie playing, as I type!

Scrooge: Let us deal with the eviction notices for tomorrow, Mr. Cratchit.

Kermit: Uh, tomorrow's Christmas, sir.

Scrooge: Very well. You may gift wrap them.

Thank you!
