Subject: [nabs-l] Employment Research Study

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 Cohen.geoff at gmail.com

Thank you in advance for your participation in our research.
