One important way to learn about psychology is from the inside - by being a participant in psychological studies. By serving as a participant in psychological research, you also contribute to advancing the scientific understanding of human thought and behavior. Participants may learn about how research is conducted, different approaches to research, and the results/outcomes of the studies.

We welcome students, Harvard affiliates, and members of the community to participate in the Study Pool. No experience in psychology needed to participate.
