***** RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY *****

STUDY TITLE: Understanding How Students are Adjusting to College Life

Eligible participants must meet three criteria:
1) current enrollment in SPCM 1010, 1100, 1500, and any other SPCM class offering course credit for research participation
2) US citizens or permanent residents, having social security number
3) aged 18 years or older

Compensation: After completing the ENTIRE study on all THREE days, participants will receive $10,
as well as course credit in SPCM 1010, 1100, or 1500. In all other speech communication courses,
you will receive course credit or extra credit as specified by your instructor.
Any time after Day 3 (explained below), participants may come and see Professor Shim to sign the honoraria,
receive $10, and return the signed consent form.

Procedure: This study involves THREE days of participation (with the total amount of time spent being 90-100 minutes). Participants will
use a computer and complete multiple tasks on a webpage created for this study:

• Day 1 (Nov 30, Mon): You will read two essays, write one personal essay, and answer a series of questions. It is likely that you will write
about a very personal issue during the study, but the study will be entirely confidential.
• Day 2 (Dec 1, Tue): You will again read and write essays, and fill out a survey.
• Day 3 (Dec 6 or 7, Sun or Mon): You will fill out a survey.

Time: You will complete tasks at ANY TIME of day/night you are available, on three days listed above (Nov 30, Dec 1, and Dec 6/7).

Location: The study will take place at ANY QUIET PLACE where participants can use a personal
COMPUTER and the INTERNET without being interrupted by other people (e.g., dorm room or apartment). Once sign up, participants will receive
an email on Nov 30, indicating the web page they can log onto and complete the study. They will get reminder emails on Days 2 and 3.

Principal Investigator: Minsun Shim, Ph.D
Department of Speech Communication, University of Georgia
