>
>
> Dear list,
> My name is Arielle Silverman, and I am a doctoral student in
> psychology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. My advisor, Dr.
> Geoffrey Cohen, and I are conducting an online study investigating
> blind and visually impaired adults' experiences with preparing for and
> getting employment. We are looking for legally blind adults over the
> age of 18 who live in the United States and who are currently seeking
> employment, as well as high school and college seniors and graduate
> students who plan to graduate in May or August 2013, to participate in
> our study.
> This study consists of three phases, which you will complete entirely
> online. During the first phase, you will answer some questions about
> your background, attitudes and personal experiences, and will write a
> short essay about a personally significant event. This session will
> last for about 45 minutes. Then, you will be asked to fill out a brief
> questionnaire every night for the next seven days, describing your
> experiences and things you did during the day. Each of these should
> take about 10 minutes. Finally, about a month from now, you will fill
> out another online survey similar to the first one, which should take
> about half an hour. In exchange for your participation, you will
> receive three $10 gift certificates to a merchant of your choice
> (either Amazon.com, Itunes.com, Olive Garden Restaurant, or AMC
> Theaters), one for each phase of the study.
> To be eligible to participate, you must be:
> (1) a legally blind adult aged 18 or older living in the United
> States; and either
> (2) currently seeking a long-term job, or
> (3) a student planning to graduate by August 2013 and then planning to
> seek employment after graduation. High school, college and graduate
> students are all eligible, as long as you intend to seek employment
> immediately after graduating.
> 
> To complete the first part of the study and receive your first $10
> gift certificate, please go to:

> Or, if you would prefer, you may email me at
> Arielle.silverman at colorado.edu
> To request a text version of the initial survey.
> If you are not eligible to participate yourself, I would appreciate if
> you could forward this announcement to anyone you know who is eligible
> and might be interested.
> If you have any questions before, during or after the study, feel free
> to contact me at
> Arielle.silverman at colorado.edu
> You may also contact Dr. Geoffrey Cohen at

> Thank you in advance for your participation in our research.
