A&M-Texarkana Psychology Lab Seeks Research Participants

TEXARKANA, Texas

Texas A&M University-Texarkana’s Psychology lab is looking for adult volunteers to participate in a research experiment on the TAMUT campus that is investigating the jury selection process. The test consists of a brief questionnaire and a short visual activity that takes about 40 minutes. Participants receive a $10 Visa gift card.

“In our research, we are discovering new factors that influence prosecutors’ decisions in the jury selection process. It is exciting that participants in our research can help inform public policy regarding jury selection procedures in the criminal justice system,” said Dr. Dana Leighton, TAMUT Associate Professor of Psychology. 

Volunteers can sign up for the research project by visiting: https://tamut.edu/Dana-Leighton/research/jury-study.html or by sending an email with the subject line “Jury Selection Study” to pjpl@tamut.edu. The TAMUT Institutional Review Board reviews the study for ethical compliance.
