The “Media Message Evaluation Study” is a project conducted by Dr. Lijiang Shen and Dr. Jennifer A. Samp at
the Department of Speech Communication. Its purpose is to learn about how individuals evaluate and respond
to television public service announcements. The information generated might be published in the forms of conference
papers and/or journal articles; however, your identity and personal information will not be published and all information
obtained will be treated confidentially.

For this project, you will be watching some clips of television public service announcements and fill
out a questionnaire on a laptop computer. The questionnaire asks you to share your opinions about the television clips.
The questionnaire will also ask you some questions about your self. In total, participation will take less than 45 minutes.
The location is Room 214, Terrell Hall. Any student 18 years of age and older currently enrolled in 1010, 1100, 1500,
or any other SPCM course that offers extra credit or research participation may participate.

The study starts on Thursday November 1. Sessions start at 3:30 M/W/F, and 4:45 T/R. Please leave your name,
