Web Based Experiments
The Judgment and Decision Making Lab
University of South Carolina


Welcome to the web based experiments offered by The Judgment and Decision Making Lab at USC. The experiments currently being offered are sponsored and supervised by Dr. Doug Wedell. These experiments are offered for subject pool credit for psychology courses at USC-Columbia and may be participated in only once, per person, per experiment. If the same study is completed more than once by the same person, only one credit will be given. Please select the study you would like to participate in, and make note of the study's name for your records. Credit for your participation will be electronically forwarded to the participant pool office once you complete this study. However, it is advised that those who participate also pick up an experiment card from our office in order to ensure proper credit is received for your participation. Experiment cards may be picked up in Barnwell 363 from 1:00 to 2:00 PM Monday-Friday.
