The purpose of the study is to assess how accurately people collect data based on features of the videos they watch. Participation involves watching a series of brief videos showing interactions between a child and an adult and collecting data based on those interactions.
The study takes place at the Life Sciences Building on WVU's campus and lasts approximately 2 hours. Participants will receive $2 per video completed, with the opportunity to earn up to $32 or $36, depending on the version of the study to which they are randomly assigned.
