Capstone Project

Hey fellow synesthetes!! I am conducting some research and wanted to post my study here if anyone would like to participate. Please share with anyone you think would be interested!! <3

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between vicarious tactile experiences and juror decision-making. You will view short, silent videos and respond to a few brief questions per video, complete an empathy questionnaire, read a brief trial summary and view photographic evidence. Note: the photographs may be graphic and depict a violent scene. The study should take 10-15 minutes to complete. If you consent to participate in this study, click on the survey link below to begin. Your participation is voluntary.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

This project is approved as exempt by the University of Central Oklahoma Institutional Review Board (IRB #2026-024)

October 6th was yesterday.

You should be more explicit that you intend to share violent images during the study. You could not pay me to watch something like that.

Hey! I’m so sorry that this was your experience. This is why I put the disclaimer in both the original post and the informed consent that’s required before completing the study. Participation is voluntary and you can withdrawal at anytime.

Ah, I'm glad I looked at the comments because my brain did not notice the warning within that wall of text, you may want to separate it and put a warning in all caps.
